Typing

[spartacus53]

I remember years ago having classes on typing when I was in JHS. The good old standard Underwood, was the monster of all machines to me at that time. I remember how huge it was and the keys were not too responsive to a light tap either. Maybe too much dust around the oiled parts slowed it down a bit, but the sound it made when striking the paper was unmistakeable

Gone are those old monsters of yesterday, replaced by a piece of plastic made overseas, and further reduced to just a keyboard with no sound at all

I have long forgotten the correct way to type and just use several fingers to work my magic over the keyboard. Yes, I can still type pretty quickly, but longed for that need of speed

Until now

Thanks to Evelyn Woods new speed typing course, you will now be able to cut back the time you spend typing on the computer. This class was so fast, I completed all the courses in a matter of mere minutes and just look at the results. I sat down and wrote out several threads and in the matter of minutes and posted them for your enjoyment..

Is this SPAM??

 

[spartacus53]

which part

 

[davest]

were you using the underwood spam model?

I learned on a Royal mechanical typewriter, then got to move up to an IBM selectric. They left spell check out of both models so a person had to actually know how to spell way back then in the olden days.

Heck there was a full day of a'lernin just on the QUERTY keyboard.

Funny how I forgot about the other popular brand Royal. For my experience I'm talking perhaps 1965/66. I always thought that Underwood was the Cadillac of their time

I never had 1 day of typing in school.
I took Industrial arts instead of Business courses just to avoid it.

taught myself the general area of where the letters are on a key board,
And when one seems to disappear I look for it.
when I misspell I either live with it or correct it .

and I can do it all with 1 finger
& it didn't cost a cent.

Jeff, don't even bother reading the post on getting taken

I had typing I think in the 7th grade They didn't allow me in any shop classes until HS, and then I was under strict observation

Typing.....funny, but if I actually stop to think about it I can't do it. As long as I just do it, it flows like second nature.

 

[spartacus53]

I'm pretty much the same way and it's time for a new keyboard, 1/2 the keys are erased. My keyboard with a few exceptions looks like a bunch of black squares

 

[davest]

you probly took shorthand too.

Funny you mention that Davest, but if I remember correctly that was only offered to girls at the time along with home economics. You had to love the sexist 60's
