I typed 100+ page Appellate briefs on an IBM Selectric. and believe me, Appellate court briefs need to be perfect. if I had to make a change on page 50, that means retyping half the brief. I am proud to say that I still type REALLY fast, probably about 80 WPM.<br /><br />People have it way too easy now!

I still have it. It makes me feel like a novelist! <br /><br />I also have a substantial collection of 45s and 33s :)Rachel @ Suburban Yoginihttp://suburbanyogini.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-27474414149995963962010-08-16T23:09:35.163-05:002010-08-16T23:09:35.163-05:00Given my terminally clumsy fingers, I must say tha...Given my terminally clumsy fingers, I must say that I'm eternally grateful for the miracle of word processing, and thinking of my first typewriting experiences mostly brings up memories of frustration and liquid paper that really didn't work very well.<br /><br />I mostly kept out of last week's debate (if I'm thinking of the same one you are)...or I should say, I kept participating, in the form of ripping into something ridiculous somebody said, and then hit delete, and my not very constructive words went no further.
