I'm just trying to recoup my losses. The lady that sold it to me looked so
sad at having to part with it. I paid a pretty penny...
Are you telling me not many folks use it? Maybe if I advertise.

I was fascinated with typewriters early (age 8? 9? Somewhere around there)
and my mother put her foot down: if I was going to use her manual portable
(Smith Corona 1949, still have it, still use it), I was going to learn to
type *correctly*. Out came her (vintage 1942) business school typing
textbook, and I remember spending a whole summer at that.

Got to high school and the "departmental typewriters" for teachers to use
were obsoleted typing class typewriters---yep, blank keys. So I ended up
getting to spend study hall in what passed for the foreign language
department office, typing tests and handouts for the teachers, who hadn't a
clue with blank keys. Students were grateful: the German teacher's
handwriting was abysmal, he had no typewriter at home, so the alternative
was mimeographed stuff in his handwriting. g

Oh, my! What a memory that brings back!

For some reason, I didn't take typing as my elective in 9th grade, which is
when it was offered at my school. I had a friend who took it, though, and the
classroom was open before school for anyone who wanted to come in and
practice.
Since my bus delivered me to the school about 45 minutes before classes
started, I would go in with her and taught myself to type! Obviously, I
didn't
develop speed as quickly as I would have if I had actually taken the class,
but
the passage of time took care of that.

Like the bridge over the Atlantic? Well, technically, there are two
now, but the original one is still the best.

Sure Charlie, I know that. :-) What I was trying to recall were
people in the ng who have been here a long time and are oceans away.
I wasn't inferring that Africa was in Europe....but I knew Tutu lives
there and was hoping for an answer from those across the water.

I believe anyone in Europe pays per minute (could be wrong though).
Tutu (in Africa)) ? Heidi (in Germany)? Can you confirm for us?

know my mom does that back home, but I am wondering how many of us
really do that and how many have a DSL or dialup plan with a constant
rate no matter how many hours you are connected?
