I have to think back a bit to remember my beginning keyboarding days. It was called “typing” back in the day, and there were about eight of us in the back of a classroom listening to our instructor over the whir of the electric typewriters. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” A-a-a-S-s-s-;-;-;-L-l-l [...]
