How fast do you type?

[Eli]

Forgot to mention that I don't type the "right" way, at all. I use all my fingers on my left hand, but only my index finger on my right hand..

I've just been typing so long that my fingers know where to go, and I can do it really fast and accurately..

I've had quite a few people comment on my typing, because my right hand looks like it's having a siezure, it moves around so much.

It's funny some people hit 0-10

Wow! Some of you guys are good. I had 53 WPM with 97%. Much easier if I working from my head and not reading text.

hmmm.. 99wpm. having to read makes it a lot more difficult, i can usually type over 100wpm if the words come straight from my mind.

About 150WPM.

The best way to break your speed barrier is to take up DVORAK touch typing. It'll ruin your QWERTY skills but it's a lot easier at the 100wpm+ level.

I've been intending to do that, but it's kind of hard with a QWERTY keyboard, as I have to switch back and forth with the bloated and ugly language toolbar of Windows XP, and I would always have to look at a reference chart, which was kind of inconvenient (I can type w/o looking at the keyboard now, but when I was first learning, it helped me to be able to look occasionally). I guess I should just get a USB Dvorak keyboard that I can use in addition to my regular keyboard.

Edit: if it's unclear, I type QWERTY now, and tried to learn for a bit with Dvorak layout mapped onto my QWERTY keyboard, but that was a PITA.
