I originally learned on a manual typewriter with strikebars, upgraded to electric at business school (typewriters at a secretarial school have no letters on the keys--you have to know where the letters are). I worked as a high school intern at IBM as a secretary, have a nice two year executive secretarial degree (top of my class) and joined IBM as a secretary. Twenty six years later I'm in program management where I can type email and assign actions faster than anyone. When Adam was little he told me I "typed like a machine". Go ahead...try it out. Let me know your results. Footnote: Adam passed his driving test on October 7 and is now driving independently to work and other events.
