 Looking around cautiously  Got to be a myth CB  IMHO those Old mechanical typewriter would only allow so much speed ..no matter how the keys were layed out.

I took typing in High School and used it in College (way before PC Keyboards were around)..and when they did arrive.. I thought "Oh this should be easy.."   Then found that I laboriously hunted and pecked around..in fear of "blowing up" my PC.  Later on all this went away.. I could type around 40-45 wpm,  but on a KB I am much faster..well.. mistakes are always present..and we all know that is common for most people.

Texting is the new rage... I suppose I should make an effort to become more skilled in all the new "abbrevs"..n acronyms Wink

I too took typing in high school.  Most of the guys I knew thought I was crazy, and asked me if I had plans to become someones secretary.

I don't recall how fast I typed in high school during our tests,  but the last time I was officially tested I went to apply for a customer service position for a software company and they had us take typing tests where you have to listen to a pre recorded conversation and take down the informaiton, then at the end you had to type from a page into the computer.

At that time I was clocked at 96 words per minute with an error ratio of .6  Without even going through the actual interview process they wanted to hire me.  But at the time I was going back to college and their hours didn't work out with my hours so I had to pass.

Ahhhh, good times, good times indeed.

 Laughing  Whoooeeee.. 96wpm..hope you had a Fire extinguisher nearby..  hehe

I never got close to those numbers..kind of a methodical typer.   I can go faster on a KB if I have to..don't have a clue how it might stack up in wpm's..  I know I could type autoexe. bat in a flash ...blindfolded back in the Dark DOS days of yesteryear...   Sticking Tongue Out

 Looking around cautiously  Oh yes..those good IL College.  Days... My My... so many years ago and still fresh in many a alumni mind.   Wink
