Seriously it isn't that hard to go fast on a slate. Once you get writing 
there's a sort of rhythm that you automatically get in to. Nowadays I may 
have slowed a bit because my hands ache. Unlike when I was a teenager.

Hi,
I all so remember the slate.  There was the pocket slate and the board
slate.  I had a music teacher at the Kentucky School for the Blind that
could write so fast that it sounded like a type writer.
