    Bah!!! Beginners numbers…

    I’ll have you know I barely passed typing class on one of those IBM ball electric typewriters at 31wpm.

    On the IBM computers with word perfect 5.1 from the 5.25’ floppy. I was much faster… 32wpm.

    Then I got ulnar nerve damage from a terrible bicycle accident in Europe aka… I fell off… and now I average 20wpm.
