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.

A blast from the past for sure.
I learned on the IBM Selectric as a high school freshman and could also type 100 words plus plus a minute.........with accuracy.
It's actually one of the best skills to learn, as I've heard from people during my lifetime who wished they had learned to type......who are relegated to hunting and pecking forever.........
