Gifted Typist

This typist’s typing has been transformed from the old ten-finger style to the new two-thumbed style.
That’s because I just got me one of those sexy new iPhones.
The keyboard is on-screen.
It works either vertically (the hard way) or horizontally (much easier), depending on which way you hold it.
Two-thumbed typing on-screen is a learned skill, and mannnee [...]

And I’m happy to report that the patient has fully recovered and is presently kicking butt on a brand new 1 terabyte hard drive.
W00t! You can almost feel the fresh air and the smile coming off my computer.
I knew things were getting dicey when the pie for my old 80GB C-drive was almost entirely blue. [...]

This typist is delighted to see Canada waking up from the coma it has been in on the matter of rip-off cell phone pricing.
The government is promising to open up the wireless industry to more competition in the hope this will stick a pin in the Bell-Rogers-Telus oligarchy, which has kept prices so ridiculously high.

Time was when a simple typist never had to worry about things like the Universal Serial Bus or USB.
You just typed until the little bell went off and then you pulled the carriage return. Sure, you had to fuss with carbon paper and liquid ink, but at least you knew what you were dealing with.

Private GT is off to bootcamp again this week with screaming sergeant majors ordering me to fix photos and FIX THEM NOW!
I’m a low-rank recruit in Photoshop bootcamp. This follows similar grueling bootcamps in Illustrator and Dreamweaver last week. SIR, YES, SIR!
By the end of it, I’ll be a first-rank private [...]
