I never took typing in school. Later I tried to use "Mavis Beaves
teaches typing", didn't work. I have been writing software for over 30
years, I use 3 fingers, 1 on left hand, 2 on the right.

I didn't take typing in high school because I didn't want to
be pigeonholed as a secretary. In early years I went in to
interview for a technical position with a degree in
electronics & almost always was asked what my typing
speed was. When I mentioned about a page ever 2 hours or so,
I got interviewed for the job I was applying for. I knew a
woman with a Stanford masters in physics who in the mid 60s
worked as a tech group secretary.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
During college when I needed to submit typed papers, I
traded typing for either a homemade apple pie or a ready to
bake homemade lasagna. I single space between sentences only
on emails. That is because my mailer produces strange
characters when I double space a sentence. The books I have
authored are all double spaced between sentences and my
reviewers have forced me to use oxford comas. They are not
used in technical papers.<br clear="none">
