Hi
I once took a touch typing course. At the end of the
first 2 weeks I was at 20 words a minute. At the
end of the semester, I was at 20 words a minute.
I'm just as fast with two fingers as with all 10.
I type this message with just two and the right
thumb.
I did too, and abandoned touch-typing for years. When I finally stuck with
it for more than 12 months, I went from 15 wpm looking at the keyboard to
70wpm without looking. Like anything else, practice, practice, practice. I
touch type for 6-8 hours of my day, with several keymaps (depending on
development environment), so I certainly don't think that 70wpm is
exceptional. On the contrary; if I wasn't so lazy, I'd probably be a lot
faster...
