One of the smartest things my mother did was make me take typing in summer school one year.    Little did she or I knew that being able to type 60WPM was going to become a very important asset in my eventual career.

I did see mention a while back about a TOPS-10 typing tutor, not unix, but in the spirit - surely there's some unix history around typing tutors.
Nah   I just learned to push harder on the ASR-33 keys ;-)
 
Funny, back-in-the-day, the local public HS had a typing class for the girls, which two of my sisters took.   The all-male prep-school where my dad taught and my brothers and I all went, had nothing. But I had access to an ASR-33 and just migrated to it.

To this day, my wife (who is a concert pianist/organist) can touch type but she is amazed at watching me with my 2, 3 or 4 finger style.
