My grandma was a typist for Jostens (the company that does a lot of the High School Yearbooks), so she was completely fixated on me learning how to type properly. Since I wasn't going to get this "training" in school until 8th grade, she decided to buy me Mavis Beacon and make me learn on my own.
I hated its damned background music, and I don't think I went through more than 7 of the lessons, but I did learn how to type. However, I have some weird quirks, such as the fact that I don't use the right-hand shift key for anything. Somehow I never trained that pinky to use that button
. I suppose it makes it awkward to do capitals on that side, but my left hand is used to stretching and playing viola anyways.
I never really learned my number keys, though. I still have to look when I type anything with numbers.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
