If we looked down he would throw stuffed animals at us! I can just imagine how that would go down these days. Anyway, my class was weird but I actually really learned to type while playing online video games. Lol. I type so fast now, people at work were always amazed. Lol.

There was a big chart at the front of the room that we could use to 'help' us remember the location of the keys. Yes, it was loud, but I never look at my hands. And it's so innate in me now, I have a hard time actually recalling where the keys are located without putting my hands in the 'keyboard' position. And I can do at least 80 words a minute still, but not with my thumbs.

Anyway, it wasnt' a required course back then, but I am certainly gald I took it, I don't know what I would do without my typing skills.
