I don't know about anyone else here, but I bristled at the concept of taking typing class as junior in high school in 1968.
Ten years later my Mom slapped me upside the head and told me to drop my one filler HS class and replace it with typing. "You're going into computers, you're going to want to know how to type." Duh! When nobody was looking I'd open up the machines and see how they worked. I watched the repairman at his business, too. That's how I learned how to field-strip a Selectric II in under a minute! Made a right scary-looking mess out of an expensive machine... People always thought they were computerized somehow. They were barely even electric. You could hook a treadle to one and type, in a post-apocalyptic world! Nothing but a motor and a switch, the rest purely mechanical. Steam-powered, that would be fun! I feel an idea coming on... :-) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
