Mavis Beacon—The Typing Teacher Who Never Was
"The home computer typing tutor was such a hit that she kept getting invited for speaking engagements and interviews. Too bad she wasn't real."

#software #MavisBeacon

I came across a new movie on Vudu.. er Fandango at Home called Seeking Mavis Beacon. It almost looks like a horror or fantasy film and I'm thinking to myself, that's the same name as the typing program.

Sure enough it's a documentary about finding the model on the cover of the typing tutor program from years ago.

#MavisBeacon

: In the spirit of the #Olympics, we held our inaugural T-ATP's Typing Olympics! Our founder, Jasmine Jackson, believes typing is a lost art. When she started her #IT journey over 20 years ago, she learned to type with #MavisBeacon (remember her?).

Our accelerators had fun at the Typing Olympics once there were prizes! Three students received a gift card ranging from $25, $50, and $100 for Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Perhaps valid criticism is best suited for sentences with capitalization AND punctuation with emphasis placed in WRONG capitalization? /S
