In college, as an elective (basket weaving was full) I took typing 5 times, failed 5 times. Still can't type the way the teacher wants but thats just too bad! I look at the screen when I type!

I type with all my fingers and not very fast either. I've got dyslexia and I have to reread a lot of what I type because it really gets messed up sometimes. Maybe that's why I have so many posts, because I'm going back to edit what I thought I typed the first, second and third time

I chicken-peck with multiple fingers. But never more than 6 fingers, the pinky and ring fingers never get any action. And the sad thing is, I do this for a living, I'm a computer programmer.

I'm a wiz typing. My fingers just fly! Took it in Grade 10 high school in the '60s, only because the teacher, Ms. Barb Bullman, had the biggest, nicest ***** you ever saw. I'll always remember them, I mean, her.

Typing's still the only thing I learned in high school that I remember or use to this day. It sure helps, because I've been a speech writer for Cabinet ministers here in Canada and my fingers can keep up with my mind when the B.S. starts to flow.

Thumbs up

I've been a serious programmer for almost 20 years, so I can definitely type -- the faster the better! It all started with typing loooong programs when I was a kid and then taking typing class in the 9th grade. Now I type without looking at the keyboard at over 120 wpm (last clocked speed anyway) -- including the top-row number keys. No 10-key pad for me -- that's the test of a true typist.

Here's a good 2nd part to the main question -- how many type fairly well using the top-row numbers instead of the 10-key?
