You were lucky to learn on an electric typewriter. In high school, my typing class was on the old manual ones. Highlights included: feeding the paper in just right so that it was straight ...even harder when you were putting in 2 pieces of paper and a carbon paper, to make a copy (cc:=carbon copy) of what you were typing; that damned manual return arm thing; learning to replace the ribbon; learning to backspace and use some kind of white paper, I think, to erase/type over a letter when you screwed up (white out had not been invented); if you typed too fast, the keys would jam. Ah, those were the days.

Oh, and great article! Had no idea about all of this. But I've always loved Tarzan!

Can't wait. I'll dial into the library phone at noon.
