When I was in 8th grade (1964-65) you passed typing or you didn't go on to 9th grade, it was part of the district's required curriculum. I had a friend that ended up in summer school just to take typing. A single space after a period counted as two or three "incorrect characters" as I recall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst j...@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
