Yeah, anyway, I can type quite fast without looking at the keyboard using both the qwerty layout and the dvorak layout. |\/|4|) 5|<1|_|_222 '/0!

i can type without looking at the keyboard, but i tend to look at the keyboard because i can type faster looking at it, but i'm now looking at my keyboard and seeing how insanely my hands move around

:S

but ive gotten it after chatting on the internet for too much and i developed the "without looking at the keyboard" technique when staying up so late that i shouldnt have the light on...

:shock:

:D

I really don't have to look at the keyboard to type. Not because I've taken typing classes or anything, but mostly because I've just been using a computer for a great huge portion of my life.

I mean, I remember using a computer back before 96. I want to say that its only been recently when I can type extra fast without looking at the keyboard. Not sure why, but everything just fell into place.

Funny thing is, I don't type the way you are supported to. I type with only three fingers on my left hand and two fingers on my right hand.

I'm a very rapid typer, as long as I don't think too hard about what I am typing. I almost failed typing in middle school, and "hen pecked" for years after that until I had a girlfriend on-line. And then... I sped up rapidly and just went light years after that through chat rooms, newsgroups, etc.

A young girl I worked with at the survey place once said my speed was "too much" as I would TAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAP like those excessive cartoon characters in the movies ;p
