Wow you had one of those ? You must be really old ....(Ducking for cover)

We had a lady in out unit that could jam that thing she typed so fast. She was the CO’s clerk of course.

Time goes on......

My friend Lynn (Major, Retired) could type something like 120/140 WPM (NO mistakes!) on that thing!

They were a dream macine. In fact, I’m going to throw away my current keyboard and ask Husband to wire me & the computer up to the old Selectric, LOL!

Squantos learned to “type” with a chisel on a hunk of granite!
