I at least partly learned touch typing from Mavis Beacon, but I don't think I ever thought the name referred to an actual person :)

I am bemused by the idea that anyone might have supposed Mavis Beacon was a real person.

I wasn't sure, some companies use a made up name, some use the founder's name... I am now informed

"A just cause attracts much support; an unjust one finds little." fascinating article on the China perspective.

I also really enjoyed the piece on Edinburgh tram works, especially the discovery of the old tram winding wheel - fantastic! I lived in Edinburgh for a year and would like to get back there someday.

As I may have mentioned, I was very taken with Edinburgh on my one visit, 30 years ago though it was. My thought was, "This is what San Francisco would look like if it were 800 years old."

What is it with Rowling?

I was a single mum so everyone who gets pregnant should be forced to be a single mum.

Sheesh!
