I learned to type on a typewriter, in (thinks) 1956 or -7. A manual typewriter. By some fortunate mistake, I had not gottetn put in the one-semester "Personal Typing for the College-Bound; I got put into the genuine secretarial typing class. I have kept my fingers resting on the home keys (except when reaching out to strike some other key) ever since. I loathe anything that makes me take one hand from the keyboard. My son observed me once, inputting some data that involved a certain percentage of numeric characters, and I was using the top row of the keyboard, because of course. And he said, "Why on earth don't you use the numeric keypad?" And I said, "Because I learned to type on a typewriter. Numeric keypads were separate machines, used by accountants. My habits are set." -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com
