Methinks you're still young!  I learned on such a thing in highschool. It was a
Royal, IIRC. It's one reason I *really* like the older clicky IBM keyboards, they've
got the right sound, although one need not press so hard on the keys.

The typewriter we had at home was an Underwood and it was black with round head keys
that had silver metal rims. Very attractive looking machine.

Did you have plain caps to go over the keys to teach you to "touch type" rather than
look?
