127887 2003-03-14 07:34:00 1. b) Any self proficient techie should be doing this ;). No time for that "touch-typing" nonsense.
2. e) or f). Few mistakes.
3. c) Refer to my comment on question 1 (one).
4. a) That should be known to most of you.
5. Male - ah, now I understand the answer to question 5, I was looking at "1 - a
2 - f (used to be g when I was typing all the time)
3 - a
4 - c
5 - female " and thinking "what the hell? the option for Male isn't in there". Then I realised the questions had stopped and Susan had started answering. 		agent (30)

5 Clueless knows, although the name is multi-gender... in the antipodes and elsewhere, it may define me as female... a Danish friend tells me it is a boy's name in Denmark (pronounced differently than in Kiwispeak, of course...) 		Dyan (2333)
127889 2003-03-14 07:44:00 I touch type without looking at the keyboard 98% of the time. I correct my own mistakes also without seeing I've made them.

I type over 90 Words per Minute (I've tested my speed with Typing Tutor 5 which is at my school, I usually get around 115 - 120 but thats when typing text on screen so I've deducted a fair bit to account for that)

Read a small book on typing that teaches the position of fingers. And I've just slowly become faster over a couple of years

127891 2003-03-14 07:59:00 I got 49 words per minute too, maybe it's a crock.
Anyone get anything different?

I started typing when I was 5. My dad had a 386DX 40mHz with 120Mb HDD, I used to hunt for .exe files and double click on them to see what they did :D 		Dylan (800)
127893 2003-03-14 08:22:00 I always wanted to be able to type, so when I retired and bought a computer, I purchased a copy of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and, like the toothless parrot, I finally succeeded. ( Note: Nothing sucks seeds like a toothless parrot.)

1 - a

2 - d (sometimes - e)

3 - b

4 - f (67)

5 - Male

127895 2003-03-14 08:33:00 I didn't think any birds had teeth, isn't it a parrot with a sore beak?
Chickens don't have lips, either.
