Well, I never got to be a comptometer operator (those people made good money), but back in the day I did take dictation with Gregg shorthand at about 150 wpm. The "new" dictation machines of the day were so difficult to use that sometimes we just listened and took it all down in shorthand! I was also darned good at making the computers do the same kind of work -- Excel even better than an adding machine ;-) -- but employers have it in their heads, "...but you're a secretary."
