The typing class I took in HS was also on the old electric typewriters.
For a moment I could hear that ratta-tat-tat in my head once again. I
remember we placed a small metal guard over the front end of the
typewriter so we couldn't see the keys.
I also went to one of the websites per Diane and tested. 42 words in a
minute, but 10 mistakes brought me down to 32. Oh well.
