Can you touch type?

[no_tv*10]

My computer just got a nasty virus so I had to borrow the teens macbook. She has changed all the letters on the keyboard to new spots! Trying to stop her siblings hacking it I am told.  It has taken me way to long to reply to questions and I'm too scared to list anything new. Am I the only loser that can't touch type????

Yes I touch type, 65 w.p.m.

I did at one time manage 80 words a minute, now I'm lucky if I can do twenty.

Touch typing isn't all its cracked up to be, more prone to RSI of the wrist

I have a school certificate for 100 w.p.m but sadly that was then and this is now.

Arthritis is cruel

I learnt to touch type at school with a bib type thing over the keys so you couldn't see them and the teacher tapping out the rhythm with a ruler on the desk.
No backspace then either LOL

So I guess I am a loser!!!!! And a really slow typing one!

Hey lurker,  I also learned to touch type with an apron over the keys.   In those days

you had to really hit those keys.   We learned to music. Slow tempo at first.  Then I forced

my poor unsuspecting daughter into the same thing.   Taped a tea towel over the keyboard.

She now types 120 w.p.m. and thanks me for it

I can touch type, but don't ask me how fast.  I am certainly a lot slower than I was 50 years ago.

Set a timer for 2 minutes.   Belt away.   When the timer goes off count the words.  Dare ya

Oh forgot.......divide by 2 for w.p.m
