Speaking of good keyboards, my typing class used IBM Selectrics for the
lucky people but we also had some older Underwoods and Royals in the class.
You got those when you irritated the teacher. I took Typing I & II and it's
worked out great as every job I've had since required lots of typing.

Still am, but I like a good key board.Ben.
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!
