Oddly enough, despite having taught myself on a fully manual typewriter, I was one of the few people at my university who didn't pound the $%@* out of the keys on the computer terminals. Dunno whether that was because I was alternating between typewriter and TRS-80 in high school, or whether it was some early recognition that I could go faster if I took advantage of the responsiveness of the terminals' keys, but that wasn't a retraining-myself issue.
Come to think of it, it may be just that I had more patience when the HP3000 got slow than my classmates did, and they were poinding the keys in an instinctive attempt to be more emphatic at the machine or something.

The comment about the Ark amuses me.
