[ale] May ALE meeting?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Back in high school I used to try to keep a full schedule and finding no
other science class I could take one year decided to take a typing class
thinking it might someday be "a little useful" to know how to type.   It
is amazing how lucky a decision that turned out to be for the future I
live in.

Of course all my decisions weren't so brilliant - I took French for 5
years from Junior High through High School.   If only all the illegal
immigrants were from Quebec...

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I type about 120 epm... (errors/minute).  Ever 
since the move from a typewriter to a keyboard, I use the backspace key 
profusely...
