I'm not particularly surprised by my result, though I goofed up twice (I hit ; instead of l - annoying! Had to backspace!! Grrr!)

Edit: Jesus, I got through that but I can't write a sentence properly.

And as a note, I got my first computer when I was seven. Windows 3.1! Man! Old School! I learned to type on my own, and that 106 wpm was, what my keyboarding teacher called, 'barbarically assaulting the keyboard'. Or, hunt and pecking. Yea, I have the keyboard memorized. sad.gif Which I'm sure most people do. Muaha. (Good news is, I'm far less likely to develop carpal tunnel, due to having started at a very young age. Muahaha!)



My dad always had computers.. I was typing at age 4. as a result my actual handwriting is total crap. Pre-windows days, using dos 3.0 and xtree gold. My first computer that was mine was a kaypro luggable. man that 3 inch built in green monochrome screen was so awesome seeming back then. And it had a 10meg harddrive.. .I never thought I'd fill it up.

MUDs certainly sped me up. Plus I partly bankrolled law school by doing freelance typing through various agencies - and the faster I went the better hourly rate I was making.

Oh, yeah?

Age four, 1986, Windows 1.0... and Janitor Joe.

That game was (is?) evil... you can't even imagine. I think it's safe to say that Janitor Joe is responsible for all of my later misfortunes in life.

Winnar?

EDIT: Also, my wrong word was 'cause I didn't capitalize the "A" in "America". Why throw country names in there? That totally threw me.

I tried it again, and I found my results have greatly improved since last time. I find that thinking about the word right before I type it increases my speed dramatically:

You type 429 characters per minute
You have 80 correct words and
you have 5 wrong words
I type 80 words per minute

NICE!! This is the fastest that I've ever typed... EVER! GO ME!!
