I don't use my left thumb at all. I use my right thumb for the space bar and my fingers for everthing else.

i don't use my left thumb. but i reach for the y key all wrong. i think. trying to catch yourself typing wrong is hard cuz you know what you're gonna do.

In movie "Ghost in a shell", those computer operators have more than 30 fingers typing at a whopping speed of 5000 wpm. :)

Yup. And 104 words per minute according to Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing too!

And yes, I can type all the numbers and symbols on the numpad too!

I first learned to type on my IBM PS/2 using Mario Teaches Typing :D. No joke.

Somewhere along the line I will use all 10 fingers... but not always in the proper manner... I just incorporate some fingers for others sometimes!
