I know a HUMAN typist who wore one out in ONE.
(she could AVERAGE 150 words per minute over 8 hour days! Not the
world's fastest, but close. At the end of the day, she barely had any
remembrance of what she had typed.)
It is vitally important that you not exceed 14.8 characters per second on
Selectrics.
The cheap home Selectrics are way too flimsy and short-lived for ANYTHING.
Always get the "heavy duty" models.
