Me too, except strenghtned on a 1980's Brother portable manual with the letters that flopped up and smacked the ribbon. If you wanted
BOLD, then you had to back up and re-smack it a few times.
I can type well over 100 wpm, but I don't. That's a skill that my bosses have no business knowing about. Who on earth would want a job that required you to type 110 wpm?
I did do some medical transcription on the side a few years back. Paid 8 cents a word (5 characters). I made enough money in a month to buy a whole new living room full of furniture!
