127901 2003-03-14 10:36:00 1. Touch Typists with a very fast backspace speed.

2. Over 70wpms, Working where I work I have to type down what the person is saying when I call up for overdue accounts, I could possibly make this into a book as some people would find the excuses very funny. One of them is I've just changed banks and waiting for a new cheque book. (a week later we get the cheque from the same bank they were with last payment).

3. I'd have to say it's plenty of practise and programs. When I was 4 I use to play those games where you type what you wanted to do like "open the door", soon I was typing out those sentences in no time (I admit I was two finger typist then, became touch typo-ist in high school).

4. I'm under 20... I'm 19 still... If people want to know what I look like well heck here's your chance (remember it's only partial me)... Someone is bound to recognise who I am, hopefully I'd be recognised as someone that has given good advice and not bad advice.

5. Male

6. Where's 7, 8, 9 and 10?

127903 2003-03-14 12:30:00 39 wpm at 99.5% accuracy, using 4 or 5 fingers - I reckon I'd be pretty swift if I learned to touch-type.

Also do around 6000 kph data entry.
