Yeah it isn't the reason but I do have to say that typing on a pc is nothing like a mechanical typewriter especially an ancient one. You really had to give the keys a hard whack and had to push them all the way down. It was pretty heavy and the hammers could really get stuck. All this did really limit typing speed. When I was in school we had an optional typing course and I was encouraged to do it as a computer nerd. But I never thought it was relevant as they didn't even use electric typewriters. They wanted to teach the ability to hit every key with the same amount of force. A skill that is completely useless these days obviously. These days we hit keys with the least amount of force and our colleagues thank us for it :)
