Are you the 'Hunt and Peck' type or the "50 words a minute" keyboard whizz?
Was a time, unless you were a writer, a man wouldn't me caught dead behind a keyboard, but, thanks to the internet....

People always tell me that I am a fast typer, and I just to be the WORST "hunt and pecker", as you called it. :wiggle::wiggle::wiggle:

60 on a good day but that's on my home keyboard. Probably a bit slower on a regular one.

95? 'kin 'ell, that's pretty awesome, shite load faster than me!

But, to go back to the op, 20 years ago, could you imagine a chav, ned, gimp, (whatever your social loser), happily typing away?

How times have changed!

I go about 50 WPM without ever any typing training. I know I have fingers in the wrong places...to type "correctly." But it works for me. :)

somewhere in between 48-54 wpm not quite a wiz on the keyboard but far more advanced than hunt and peck.
