typing in high school ancient mechanical typewriters...... final exam
end of the year ...teacher throws towels over everyone typewriter and hands!

Over the last 40 years I've authored millions of lines of code
programming factory roboitcs, video, automated testing, even an
co-authored a complete C.A.S.E. environment
for clean room testing hybrid micro circuits.
