I took typing as an elective in summer school before my senior year of high school, in
preparation for typing papers at college. I failed the class because I would backspace and
overtype the wrong character.
In college I used UCSD Pascal on Terak???s. So I could backspace to my hearts content.
Still not a very good typist, and at least now the backspace doesn???t screw up what I
send out.
(I took care to count the number of times I had to backspace while typing this message:
5)

And, yes, even as a male I had typing in high school.
I had typing as an elective class in 7th grade in 1984. It gave me the
ability to type in programs faster.

C: i took typing as a senior in 1985. The lady was a former military officer, in her 60s
or later. Everyone was scared shirtless of her. 1 puerto rican girl who sat up front could
do 90wpm. Me, I sat in the back. I'm still a very flawed typist. Iow I suck.
