I learned to type on an IBM typewriter in school back in the early 80s, I got a D in the class, but a few years later, when I got my first computer, that training would become very useful.
I went from typewriter to keyboard, but I only vaguely remember needing to learn the nuances of a computer keyboard–Ctrl, Alt, Del, Ins, Home, End, etc. It all seems so natural, now, moving between word processing, to graphic design, to games, using the same keyboard for very different tasks.
I sit here, now, typing on my favorite keyboard of the past 15 years, the Logitech K800. I own three of this model, and only two still work. Sadly, the K800 was discontinued, and it’s virtually impossible to find one for sale, they’re highly sought after by those who love them. I was shocked they discontinued it, considering its popularity. Maybe it became too costly to make?
Edit: when I first looked at that listing i could have sworn it said $99 for a new one. Still, not a terrible price for a like new one if it’s your favorite.
It’s funny, I learned how to type on a computer, and the first time I had to use an actual typewriter, I nearly jumped out of my chair on account of how LOUD it was.

Is this not it?
