CAPTURING MEMORIES UNDERWATER

Memories are created just about anywhere. And when I say anywhere, I
mean that memories are even created underwater – so the creation of
underwater digital camera.

Any memories I have of underwater are invariably of me nearly
drowning.

Anyone who has not experienced the underwater world has missed a big
chunk of life.  I would not trade the hours of ship diving and
documentary work that occupied my earlier years for anything.  In fact,
I would like to do some more of the same...

I know I'm missing out but I actually have quite a bt of trouble
staying on top of water, never mind going under it :O) I did do
swimming at school, I think once they got me to move forward a couple
of inches they went "Yay, he can swim!" and gave it up as a bad job.

I went from the status of a non swimmer to certified (NAUI) SCUBA diver
in three months and (PADI/YMCA) certifications within a year.

That, along with taking typing in high school may have been the two most
productive things I did...

wow, well done! I don't think i could physically or mentally stand the
challenge now. Could do with learning to type again, I've gone from
being reasonable to hitting the wrong keys all the time.

Learning to touch type is not really a big deal.  I remember my mother
(at 55) who insisted on learning and I set up the same system that was
used in high school.  She was typing 50+ wpm within six months of self
effort.

No, you provide a keyboard layout on the wall in front and learn key
sets two at a time.  "Touch" typing depends on both hands residing on
"Home Row" which are anchored by the "f" for the left hand and "j" for
the right hand.  Notice that these two keys have a raised indent on them.

Oh yeah. I think in the UK, in the times when my sister and my wife
learned it they had plastic caps which went over the keys, so you
basically couldn't cheat... but then again they were 'real' manual
typewriters then. I learned to type rather like I write, very scrappy
and thudding away with two or three fingers but very quickly. Sadly
although the speed is still there the accuracy is not and I find I hit
the wrong keys more often, specially when using punctuation, with ;
instead of ' being the most common. Luckily spell check sorts that
out.

The "key" to success with mastering touch typing is to learn the key
positions without looking.  Looking at the keys severely slows down the
process.  I like most people in the 1950's learned on manual machines.
That room really shook when everyone was typing...

Ah, mine was a 70s hammer it out fast and furious with two fingers but
no great skill at the process of recall. I have a reasonable idea by
now where things are but bad motor skills and etc cause me to hit the
wrong keys. I was unsure for a while if it may be a keyboard size
thing, after all some things just keep getting smaller.

Nearly as bad as a roomful of chattering keypunch machines.
