Actually, that's the aboslute best thing I ever learned in high school
, my typing skills, and I've used it a lot since then.  That's how
things should be structured, to offer you a skill that you want to learn,
in abudance, taught by quality people, not having to pay a bunch of 
money to some commericialized setup.
Going from an 8th grade ed to college, if that's the way it's gonna be,
shouldn't cost $.  That's one of my points.
