Me, on both counts. I learned to type in junior high school using manual typewriters, but I also "played" with one at home. And, yes, I had to unjam hammers and replace ribbons and all of that.
But I'm also old enough that I typed all of my undergraduate papers on a typewriter, albeit an electronic one with a daisy wheel.
I touch type and do not think about the keyboard much when I do. I'd hate to have to learn a new system.
And I type 40 wpm on my Tungsten-C with my thumbs...
Urk. Embarrassed to have forgotten about daisy wheels. (I did use daisy-wheel printers, but never a typewriter like that. I saw them but never used one.)
I'm not as fast with my thumb on my current Ericsson phone as I was on my first Ericsson (but at least the predictive word completion works better than Motorola's version). I'm really not sure how fast I am with my thumbs. Hmm.
