I remember taking typing classes in elementary school, but I never learned the "proper" way to type. I think it had to do with the computer program used to teach us. It was some program for the Apple IIE computer (you know, the green font, the overly spastic cursor) that would beep every time a mistake was made. And there were plenty of mistakes. Every computer in that room beeped at least every 3 seconds. It sounded a little like some of the electronic 80's music we were raised on. After a while, some of the kids in class started to get self conscious about how many times their computer was beeping, so most of us abandoned trying to learn the proper way to type and we resorted pecking at the keys with our index fingers. It took us around 5 minutes to type "Sally hit the ball", but we did it in perfect, beep-free silence. Then we rewarded ourselves with a rousing game of Oregon Trail. We eventually all died of dysentery.
