Say, does anybody know of the function that could control the CD tray? Like to make it eject? Is there a way to make it close the drawer programatically?
It would be great to see that again. Add the metronome to help
increase the speed.
Another Real Life Story.
How I got so fast.
In high school I took 2 years of typing. The only person to beat
me consistently was Sylvia O. After that I moved to Edmonton to
take a 1 year accounting course. They had a typing class of about
50. Of that 90% were young ladies. Sylvia was in that class. I
always came in second out of 50 always. After that I had a job
where I used a calculator all day long. I was faster than any
auditor / accountant I ever seen.
Sylvia didn't get into computing. So I stand by my claim.
