[GreenKeys] Typing Instruction

[John, W9DDD]

  30 was about the best I could do back in the day.  That was if I got 
the rhythm just right due to the fact that the keyboard is interlocked 
to prevent more than one key being depressed at the same time.  You'd 
have to be real darn good to get anywhere near to 60wpm.  The Teletype 
engineers just hadn't figured out N-key rollover for mechanical 
keyboards. (AFAIK)

You said "tomorrow" yesterday.

The above comments or recommendations are SWAG. Use at your own risk.
