[answering machine beeps] [woman 1] Hello. I am wondering what's up
with the Mavis Beacon hotline. [beep] [man 1] Your, eh, your note. I thought I saw Mavis "Bacon" somewhere over here
in, uh, Northern Virginia. Just letting you know. [beep] [man 2]
When I think of Mavis Beacon, I'm walking into a cold room. You turn the computer on,
and there's this lady. And you don't really realize
that she's, like, a real person. [man 3] The software
was so interactive. It was cool because it,
like, it felt like the future. [woman 2] She taught me
so much shit, y'all. I was, like--
I was king on that shit. I was going HAM diddly, typing as fast as I could. [woman 3] Without her, I would not have been able
to hold a job just doing the little typing
I was able to do, going on the computer,
learning some skills
