How do kids learn to hold their fingers in the right place to type on a regular keybord without formal instruction?
I guess it never occurred to me that one could just learn to type without a formal class, people do pick up a guitar and start learning chords on their own too.
gotcha dona – interesting stuff!!
IS Pete still working?? Shouldn’t he have finished by now?
Should someone check on him? I wouldn’t want to see him suffer from heat stroke.

I learned typing in Junior High too.
It was a mandatory course. I hope it still is.
huh? why would they have a class in typing these days when kids are able to type and text 100 WPM before they even know their ABC’s?!

“One of the problems with the gold standard is that it does not allow for expanding money supply as a stimulative tactic, basically what the FED is doing now and ties the hands of leaders in dealing with local and global economies.”
is that necessarily a bad thing?
DH, not everybody agrees with the FED’s strategy of keeping low interest rates and increasing the money supply to stimulate the economy. Even within the FED there is disagreement. One of the reasons that the dollar tanked until just recently is that there was a difference in philosophy between the Europeans and the US Fed on stimulating the economy. Europeans wanted higher interest rates (to stem inflation) and the FED says no, so the interest rate differential caused the dollar to tank.
