Re: Keyboarding...

I took typing in HS. got to about 25 wpm. I got suspended from school for taking an electric typwriter apart. My folks weren't too happy when they had to pay for the repairs before I could get back in school. I just use 2 or 3 fingers now and look at the keyboard.

I type 70-80 wpm, do not look at the keys except when I have to look for numbers or the symbols. Took typing in HS, to get close to a girl. The girl is long gone but the typing skills remain.

Re: Keyboarding...

I took typing in HS also...Two weeks into class I wound up with a cast on my hand. Lotta good that class did me. I have a bit diffrent technique than most...I use about six of my fingers ( no thumbs or little fingers) and I constantly look at the keyboard. I do subconciously know where most of the keys are but I still look to verify. The odd thing is I do not use the correct finger, just whatever finger is closest to the key I am looking at. I would have to guess I get about 20 wpm.

That's the reason she is a terror in trivia, her fast typing. :D :D :p

Problem is....I type like a mad woman and nothing comes out. <br /><br />Have had incredibly bad luck logging on to either site. I will get my Java jiven by next week so watch out.
