I took a grade nine typing course when I was in grade 12 (this was back in 1986). I was one of the few people I knew using computers. I was using them to type my essays because my hand writing was so terrible (lefty!). I recognized that I was going to need to learn how to type.
In first year University, I didn't have my own computer and so I used my housemate's electric typewriter to type all of my papers. I didn't use a typewriter after that because I was able to use my girlfriend's (now wife) computer (it was a DOS beast running Word Perfect - reveal codes).
