## The story

In computer class, everybody met Octo, the purple octopus who taught home row. Type fast enough and he juggled letters across the screen; slow down and he drooped into the sea. The final level made you race his rival, a smug sea turtle, at sixty words per minute. Most kids still type a little faster when they think of him.

## Fun fact

Octo had a different frowny face for every row of keys, and kids made a game of collecting all of them.
