Anyone know where you can find out how many words per minute you can type?

There are plenty of shareware and freeware programs out there, but I thought the best was Typing of The Dead by Sega wich is a 100meg+ download demo from Sega. You can do a search for typing tutors at download.com.

Have a friend stand next to you with a stopwatch. When he says "go" start typing. When the minute is up he will say "stop" and then stop typing. Count the number of words on your screen. That's how many words per minute you can type.

First try on "The Little Girl," for one minute:

Test Time: 1 minute
Typing Speed: 88 wpm
Accuracy: 82%
Net Speed: 72 wpm

Significantly worse than my average, but it's better than a lot of people's.
