Here I am still typing away long after I've forgotten how to figure the area of a triangle. In my class we used the manual typewriter for half the course and electric for the other half. Manual typewriters and rotary dials -- 2 things that require considerable finger strength and 2 things that I don't miss (not that they were torture but you know...).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392622878133334843.post-54066798959464242992012-06-23T20:54:50.084-07:002012-06-23T20:54:50.084-07:00Wow!

Business was my focus in high school so I took four years of typing.
