I happen to be one of the world's most informed experts regarding the issue of printing ~ how it's done, how to get it, how to make it, how to do stuff.

And you? A manual typewriter?

In 61?

By that time I was using a specially set up electric to do 238 WPM.

A noxious breeze blows in your direction.

In the 9th grade, I was in the first class in our local high school to learn to type on the IBM Selectric (the one with the rotating ball of letters/characters). That was in 1966. Although the Selectric came out in 1962, I don't think that it was in general commercial use in 1964. And I would betcha a beer that it wasn't in Kenya. Local governments are/were notorious for being behind in technology use. Remember, back then, taxpayers didn't want their money spent making the job of government workers easier.
