That's really all there is to it, no "fine tuning" required :-/ well you try typing on a keybaord at a weird angl,e in near total darkness that lacks a backspace key and see how many wpm you can get/ eitehrway you're right. typos are fixed druing editing. no publication would publish a first draft nor would you compile the first thing you wrote. can be as rough as you want so long as you can read it well enough to correct it. back at hornby high (2003-2007) the only computer related classes were art (G4 emacs), design (some sort of CAD) and ICT (typing and microsoft office). there was no development or programming courses. basic html was unheard of and pressing window+L to lock your classmate's computer when they went toilet got you yelled at instead of them being told they should have done it themselves (security much?_ all this without looking at the keyboard. it does happen to have backlit keys but i mostly use them for FINDING they keyboard rather than finding keys. without glasses i cant even read the keys at arm's length anyway. so yeah my highschool education was mostly wasted. only good that came of it was meeting people, including the mother of my son. i got banned from the school computers for SEVERAL years for selling porn and hacking the printers to display crude messages on the little screens they have.

Hate to break it to you but if you need any vision at all, it ain't touch typing. If you need to find the keys, you're not using your fingers to find the F / J key.	Chilling_Silence (9)
