We had a copy of Mavis Beacon but I never really used it. What taught me typing:
1. Flirting with the girl I later married over ICQ

- vmception 5y agoTrying to keep up with file servers and conversation on IRC taught me to type fast! Sink or swim scenarios work best for me.

- Dalrymple 5y agoMy graduating class learned to type by producing thousands of punch cards on the IBM 026 punch card machine.
- joshspankit 5y agoYou married over ICQ? If so, that’s quite notable!
- na85 5y agoNo no, I meant the messaging was conducted over ICQ.
