I was just reading Honeywolfe's post and was wondering.......how fast can you type?
I can type about 130 WPM. The reason I think is because when I was a child I would go to my mother's office every day after school. There was an extra typewriter in the back where I stayed and I would sit there for 2 hours every day typing.
I really didn't know at the time that I was teaching myself how to type (because I certainly wasn't using the correct fingers) but I would go through the A.B.C.s and type my name and the names of all my family. I guess in those 3-4 years that I stayed there I in a way memorized where the keys were.
When I got to high school typing I was heads and tails above everyone else because I "knew" where the keys were and by the time my teacher had taught me the correct hand and finger positions I was flying.
I enjoy typing, I would rather type something out in Word than write it any day. I still love playing typing games just to see how fast I can go. There is one out there somewhere called Typer Shak that is soooooo much fun but you have to buy it.
Anyway just curious if you type faster or slower and if you type faster how you learned. On a side note before my dad passed away I bet he could type 80-90 WPM by pecking.......he typed with two fingers but boy could those two fingers move....LOL!

The lady administering the test did say that I had beautiful hair!
) It's called the Dvorak method. The keyboarding goes as follows:
I just might have to go back there and do it again.
