I used to really enjoy playing around with the various typewriters around my dad's office when I was a kid. His secretaries all had super fancy electronic typewriters. We also had two older manual typewriters at home. I didn't learn to type until I was in sixth grade, though, and I learned on a Mac with Mario Teaches Typing. I type about 80 wpm accurately; I had to learn to type fast because I wanted my fingers to be able to keep up with my thoughts. And Grancey, I actually have the exact opposite problem with writing longhand versus typing; writing longhand I write in a more journalistic, spare style, whereas with the computer I flesh out my writing more. Knowing this about myself, I try to use it to my advantage, sometimes choosing to write some things longhand, sometimes electing to use the computer.
