I guess they were into computers, too. I lived in a small town (well, I still do but it's a different town) and I don't think there was a single computer within several hundred miles at that time. The typing class taught me a number of things other than straight typing that have been very useful over the years. How to properly fold a letter to fit into an envelope, as one example. While officially called the Typing Class, it was actually geared to how to be a secretary. We learned how to do filing and that kind of thing as well. Frankly, I firmly believe that I use more of what I learned in Typing Class on a daily basis than any other individual thing that I learned in high school. -- 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
