[GreenKeys] Typing Instruction

[1oldlens1]

That's a puzzle to mw, perhaps because I don't know much about the keyboards on those machines.  I can touch type pretty well on anything with a fairly standard typewriter keyboard.  Some skills, like typing, morse code, shorthand (which I don't know) and probably golf become lifetime occupations.Sent from my Galaxy

But for aregular typewriter he did hunt-and-peck.  Western Union preferred thecelluloid key tops over the green spring cushion kind.  It's my opinionthat one can probably type faster that way when your fingers don't haveto travel the extra distance. 	--- 	"Ya can argue all ya wanna, but it's dif'rent than it was." 	"No it ain't!
