I like the keyboard the way it is. I took typing my senior year of HS. Many of my friends had been taking office type classes all along, but I was in college prep classes. Thought I would take typing in case I ever needed it, and had more than filled my requirements of needed classes.

This was back in the day before computers. The room was divided into manual and electric typewriters, and your font choices were pica and elite.

Never thought I would need typing. But, I learned the basics, finger placements, no looking, etc...so that when I started using a computer I had the basics down...it was just a matter of perfecting it through practice. I'm a pretty decent typist now, but thank goodness for backspace.

It was like in basketball in HS...if you learn the correct fundamentals of shooting...the shots will come.
