I took typing as an elective in summer school before my senior year of high
school, in preparation for typing papers at college. I failed the class because
I would backspace and overtype the wrong character.
In college I used UCSD Pascal on Terak’s. So I could backspace to my hearts
content.
Still not a very good typist, and at least now the backspace doesn’t screw up
what I send out.
(I took care to count the number of times I had to backspace while typing this
message: 5)
