My typing skills continually amaze my neighbor - who is just learning - and I always like to tell the story on myself that when I was just learning to type I got a certification card from my night school class that boldly declared that I was a certified typist who could manage eleven words a minute with three mistakes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

Back in 7th grade I took one Marking Period (2 months) of typing and made it to 7 wpm no mistakes.

Never typed again <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> until I got a computer 30 years later. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />

I think I passed the point of diminishing returns, because 12 years later, I'm still really slow <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :modding

Hey skull, you old pirate! The worlds treating me alright. How about you? Here are a couple of updated links for you.

The last time I posted this one it wasn't complete. It is now. 18th century ships histories.

<a href="http://www.cronab.demon.co.uk/INTRO18.HTM" target="_blank">http://www.cronab.demon.co.uk/INTRO18.HTM</a>

And the last time I posted this one only Volumes III through VI were on line. Volumes I and II are on line now. Interesting reading!
