I actually learned to type numbers by typing in all of those MLX programs out of Compute! magazine on my Commodore 64. I learned to type in school on huge Underwood manual typewriters. (I was the only boy in the high school typing class; I thought it would be a good skill to learn. Obviously, I was right.) While I got so I could type over 100wpm, I somehow never really got the hang of typing the numbers -- numbers in a text would always play hell with my typing speed. Not enough practice at the time, I guess. I was long out of high school when I got my C64, but when I started typing all of that stuff in out of the magazines I could suddenly type the numbers just as well as I could type the letters. To this day, I never use the numeric keypad on any keyboard, and don't miss it at all on keyboards that don't have one. I always use the numbers across the top instead. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
