Hi all,
On a completely different note... I’ve been delving into typing tutor programs of late.
Quite a mishmash of approaches out there. Not at all like what I remember from junior high
- The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, kinda stuff. Best of breed may be Mavis
Beacon Teaches Typing on the gui front, and I hate to admit it, gnu typist, on the console
front.
I’m wondering if there are some well considered unix programs, historically, for learning
typing? Or did everyone spring into the unix world accomplished typists straight outta
school? 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.
Thanks,
Will
