the Bahamas are being hit hard,
I once had the idea of retiring there. The weather and all seemed
perfect. Except for the occasional "wind storm".
Perhaps our keyboards are older and therefore built better
Ah, remember the days when needing a new keyboard and the hunt for a
place that even sold them? And the prices! Sheesh.
all the keys are still quite visiible on my keyboard
One time during my deep cleaning I ran a damp rag of spic-and-span and
bleach over the keyboard to clean off the keys that aren't often used and shortly after half of the letters disappeared. :)
I've become somewhat of a touch typist
I am as well, provided I keep looking at the screen.
Just remember those home keys! :)
She put a piece of paper over the keyboard so that I couldn't see the keys
any more
When I used a typewriter something I wrote often looked like I had the keyboard covered. :)
I learned to type on a upright manual and never got the hang of using an electric. I have a bad habit of resting my fingers on the keys and often it would come out like thisss.
on a computer, in a nice text editor, it's easy enough to fix the typoes on
the fly
When I got my Commie in the mid '80s I wrote people that soon they would
get letters from me without typo's.
Ah, the days of snail mail.
I used to be in regular correspondence with about a dozen people and each letter was individual (adding/subtracting things of interest to that
person). And typing basically the same thing over and over and over...
Now its just cut and paste.
Life is good.
