Simply amazing. Along with the previous post I can claim my own "pinsetter at the bowling alley" moments when while in Jr. High School I was able to attain typing speeds of 90wpm. In high school, and for those who remember, I had 2 companies-Royal and Underwood come to my high school to watch me type 110 wpm. They never offered me a potential job upon graduation but that ended up working OK for me!! Then along came the IBM Selectric and typists never had to manually return the carriage ever again!!! Don't know if I could ever have gotten to 125-130 wpm and will never know.
