 > Didn't BBSing help you turn into a faster typer?

No, but High School typing class did make me a fast *typist*.

But there was never more pressure to type fast than when you were pulled into
chat with the sysop and they could watch your every keystroke and mistake (and
you were all too aware). So typing class paid off there and through-out my
career. I keep telling my college-aged daughters: use the correct fingers!
Don't look at the keyboard! They type faster than many, but could be so much
faster.
