evildeb brought a little utility to my attention. now my computer makes little typewriter noises as i type. with separate noises for space and return. it’s absolutly delightful. for now. i’m sure i’ll get over it soon. but right now, i’m having the best time. i love the little tippety tap typing noises. when i learned to type, in junior high, i learned to TYPE. not keyboard. i learned on an IBM selectric. all of my college papers were typed, i never used a word processor. i didn’t even know how. i was computer illiterate. so i’m having a little deja vu moment. although, i would like to point out, i hated my typing teacher, she only liked the popular girls. everyone else, including all boys, she did not feel she had to bother with… be nice to. i got a C in typing. totally brought down my grade point average. i did not get c’s in ANYTHING. ever. later, in college, i got a job doing medical transcription for a physical therapist. i used a little dictaphone machine with foot pedals. and an IBM selectric. that’s how i became the speedy typist i am today.
i’d point you to the utility, but it’s a Mac OS X utility. and the majority of people chose to use lesser OS’s.
