[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 93345, member: 3485"] I flunked out of typing in HS. Plateaued at 16 wpm while the rest of the class moved on. Actually my typing teacher agreed to let me "drop" typing at mid-term (took German III instead) rather than fail the class. It never appeared on my transcript. It would be real helpful to me in my job if I didn't have to hunt-n-peck (actually I long since learned where the keys are, so I don't have to hunt very hard, but I do still need to look at the keyboard, having never developed the touch-typing fingering from the home row and all that). I wonder if anybody else does this: I am right handed but I use my left hand to mouse with. That way I can jot notes etc. with my right hand without having to lay down my pen for pointing and clicking. Most people when they see the mouse and pad to the left assume I'm left handed. On the home computer the mouse is conventionally on the right though. There was a mutiny when I tried to switch it. [/QUOTE]
