DooMBoy Posted May 1, 2003 Just wondering, how fast can you guys type? I used to type slowly till I got AIM and some typing lessons. 0 Share this post Link to post

Draconio Posted May 1, 2003 I never learned to type in the "proper" way, but the time I used to spend on MUD's and the time I spend on IRC has gotten me up to an OK speed, and I can type without looking at the keys very often. One of my friends on IRC once told me I type like a Korean. I have no idea what that was supposed to mean, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted May 1, 2003 I don't know. I'd guess I would be around 50wpm. 0 Share this post Link to post

Job Posted May 1, 2003 I've typed up to 129 WPM and can do so with 2 errors or less. I once had a secretary relative who could do 160 WPM. It was mad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted May 1, 2003 Im at about a pathetic 40 wpm. I never learned to type properly. Actually I sort of refused to, since I've developed my own, inferior way. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted May 1, 2003 Heh, I'm really not sure how fast I can type. Relavtively fast, I'd imagine. 0 Share this post Link to post
