[...] Apparently, I like typing. I could type 50+ words per minute when I was a teenager. Now I can type up to 79 WPM. [...]

Hi David. The test is kind of different than what I use to take in school. I used to have to wait at least 1 second when we hit carriage return. Then I had to watch out for the margins and got points deducted for overrunning it. So this version of speed typing is actually much easier.
I would say that it adds 10-15 WPM to what I would normally get in a proper typing speed test.

i used to average 3 words per second with proper grammar.. i kept taking this test over and over because i would stop and judge the horrendous grammar… lol… got an 83 on my last test… i took your score as a challenge! my last complaint is that the first time i started that test, a pop-up window came from that site and screwed me up royally lol…

Hi Michael. You’re right, I do chat a lot. I guess the requirement for online chat is fast typing.

If you chat a lot, you’ll surely know how to type fast (at least it will train you to type faster and faster)

Hi “bloggernoob”. That’s such a coincidence! Almost too good to be true. How well did she teach you? How fast do you type then/now?

Hi “fragileheart”. You must be talented to be able to teach yourself computers. I can’t even operate the VCR without consulting the manual. Schooling is important to teach the basics for perfection; but eventually perfect practice makes perfect!

@Zhu : 60 wpm is not bad. I thought you were going to say you were a two-finger typist. But with 60 wpm, you can get a lot of blogging/commenting done.

@Carolyn: oh I love those IBM Selectrics! I did like the fact it sounded like a machine gun. I also used the old IBM PS2 computer keyboards that made those smacking sounds. But after a while, people did get annoyed by the noise and eventually I had to give them up.
