[cctalk] Re: Typing class in high school

In high school I had signed up for an electronics class and then my family transferred to another city. In the high school that I then enrolled in, there was no electronics class so I was given the option of another class - I chose typing, which turned out to be a great choice. Since I had started the class mid-semester I wasn't required to pass any proficiency test, so it didn't matter how fast I was. At the same time, I learned to touch-type which was perfect when I became involved with computers, as all the other programmers were doing hunt-and-peck!
