Topic: SPEED

[jimtheworzel]

I have often wondered at what speed you type in a post
Me I’m a one finger man, takes me ages
How a bought you, are you like me  slow? or super-fast

[Mimi]

Super fast me  ;D  I learnt to touch type at a very young age and (with a bit of practice when I got a puter) its something like riding a bike.....you never forget. 

[Flighty]

I'm a two fingered plodder!  :)

[shirlton]

I use about 4 fingers. But never typed at all until we had a pc

[Lottiman]

Just a one finger typer i,m afraid :( Very annoying when you read a post on here start to reply and by the time i've finished three people have already posted :-[ But maybe its because i waffle to much!!! ;D

[pumkinlover]

Tried "The Shed" at the weekend, I was so slow there were loads of replies before I got mine posted :-[

[tonybloke]

Ah miss read that!
I use all fingers and thumbs, having done touch typing many moons ago at school- failed the exam though. however I make so many mistakes that it take me ages to put them right :-[

so long as you can type more slowly than you think, there's less chance of you putting your foot in it

I like that, its the mouth though that's the problem!

[tonybloke]

r.e. the spelling issue,  I use 'firefox', and the built in English dictionary spell checker!

[Trevor_D]

I've been typing since I was a teenager and am reasonably fast - but it certainly ain't nothing like touch-typing!

[landimad]

I too have been typing since my teens, but the trouble in the ink ribbon has run out and I do not know where to get another which is full of ink now.
Also the trouble with typewriters is they cannot do the same as a pc and spell check for you. :D

[Flighty]

That's typical,  I would have been in the shed as well but lost my broadband connection early Saturday evening for a couple of days!

God gave up two ears and one mouth, so we'd listen more than we spoke, but he didn't reckon on us inventing the keyboard, so we could be at it all day with our 10 digits (and other parts too if we're off on one)

maybe that's why the internet is such an angry place

[hippydave]

I touch type, i was the only boy in my whole school who did typing ;D, took a bit of adapting to a computer keyboard but im quite proficient now ;)
