And, after all my earlier training on manual typewriters, I still break three keyboards a year on the job. As Poohbah put it, "the ninja-typewriter fingers of death".

LOL Forgot about those things & I have a manual typewriter. Manual typewriters were the ancient equivalent of laptops. (Circa 1977--graduation present.)
