Can't look or I will mess uplaugh

I can still type 75wpm accurately.

It's harder on my laptop, the keys just feel different. I look at the screen so I can proof read while I type. I do make more errors on the laptop and have to backspace to correct them.

It's funny, sometimes I trip over my fingers cos they go so fast. I do have days like that.

mastic55: at you key board when your typing. I have to look, I took typing class in high school and use to type without looking,but after high school I never use a type writter till I got on line, I try to do it without looking but I mess up, got to get a typing lesson book to learn the right way...


I don't look (except when its the numbers and/or the odd punctuation mark) .... but I have to regularly retype as I transpose on a regular basis. Pain in the butt having been blessed with this gift. I've got no idea actually how fast I type.

Funny I remember when computers were first being introduced into schools (I was in grade 11 at the time) .... and I thought forget it - I'm not interested in learning about them as I didn't think it was important. Probably would have been better off to take the computer programming classes then my English Literature as at least I'd have probably had a career.

Very true, we all should have been born with the wisdom of old age.
