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.........

Never did I realize what a huge plus it was going to be in the future to be able to type fast and accurately. With the advent of the computer over the years it has proven to be a real asset. Congratulations on your school typing speeds. Still think to this day that if I had the opportunity to use the IBM Selectric years ago in high school, that I may have been able to attain a 125-130 wpm in tests. When I see most people today using the keyboard I realize just how fast both you and I could navigate the "keys".
