The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

I think I’ve become a lazy typist… I used to clock in well over 90. Of course typing speed varies from keyboard to keyboard, good luck hitting these numbers on a laptop or after a late lunch. I still bust out in stitches over the typing scene in ‘Misery‘.

This little applet brought back some funny memories of wasting (time) away in typing class. Do they still require typing in high school? maybe dubbed keyboarding now… I never could quite understand the teacher’s belief that we would still be using the IBM Selectric Typewriters after we graduated especially when we would leave that class and hop over to programming class (logo, basic, RPG-II, pascal – geek…)
