Typing was one of the most valuable classes I took while growing up.  I will never forget my 7th grade typing teacher, Mrs. Moman.  She taught me how to type the right way on a huge typewriter where whiteout was your option for backspacing.  We had computers for word processing at the time, but we were forced to use the old typewriters.  This was for the best, since I probably would have taken the backspace key for granted.  The pastor of the church we attend posts some great stuff on his blog and tonight he posted a typing website called 10 fast fingers.  You should check it out and brush up on your typing skills.
