Hi Joe/Tom:

Regarding typing.............Gotta' funny but true story to tell you:

Back in my high school days, all the students had several elective classes 
when they reached Senior class status.  So what did I 
pick?..............."Typing" of course!.............Even my buddy decided to join me...........Why.did 
we pick that class?.........Cause' the class was full of girls of course!  My 
buddy/I  thought it would be a lotta'  fun in that class with all those girls!  
We were the only two guys in the class.

Geeez..............were we wrong about having a good time in the class.  
Imagine our panic on the first day of class when the instructor asked us to pull 
the covers off of the typewriters only to reveal the keys were 
BLANK..........aaagghh!! That's right, one had to memorize the keyboard.

To make a long story short...............we had to learn to type which left 
very little time to flirt with the girls...........heh heh

Yes, we both passed the class and I am  thankful to this day as I have used 
the typing "craft" for years................ Now, if I could just teach these 
fingers to spell..........
