Maybe because you went faster? Champions (rare) on manual typed over 100. I never did that. However, after years of typing at home, I did get into the 90s. Electric? I never reached the point of even counting. I don't know. Maybe I am resistant to power machines? With the computer - I'll bet you did this also - I typed so fast that it took the machine time to catch up with me. I finally slowed down for the poor beast.
That's impressive. The best I ever did was 70 wpm in typing and 100 in shorthand. The best typist in my high school was one of the guys. He was also an outstanding golfer, basketball and baseball player. He had superb fine muscle control. He played golf his entire life and was so good he considered going pro in his earlier days.
I remember when paper towels were not embossed--they were plain and flat. Embossing makes them artificially "thick" so they roll up into a much "fatter" roll that way.
Had one in the 1960's--a "station wagon" (which would be called an SUV today.)
I wish I had some soothing Vicks Menthol Throat Lozenges right now. Don't know if they are still made but I do know that no one near me carries them anymore.
Nash Rambler, good mpg vehicle.
In 1957 had a 54 Rambler 6 cyl std OD that gave me 28mpg.
Got job promotion and needed larger car so traded in for a New 57 V8 Nash wagon...BAD move.
I loved that small car.

I remember seeing one of the Tucker cars which was on display where I lived. Only 50 were ever made. It was a fascinating car at the time with 3 headlights, the middle light moved as you turned the vehicle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_48
