I too took typing class, quite possibly the most valuable course I took in high school!

Great story and it reminded me of the typing class I took in high school (mainly as a blow off class). It was back before PCs were a "thing", so I figured I would -never- use typing in the "real world". I was proven very wrong years later, lol.

Wow Matt, great story!

Amazing that you found that pic - that’s real goosebumps stuff - actually I should say ‘goosepimples’, as I’m British!

It’s great that your own typewriter was also blue - did you pick that same colour on purpose? I like to think so.

Thank you so much for the link - so kind!

Yes, I picked the blue because I liked it.
