Nice, my mum sort of taught me really quickly, shes also a fast touch typer. When i was strapped for time at school i would just read out what i wanted in my essay and she'd type what i was saying without me having to slow down.
Brilliant for getting loads of work out of the way in about 20mins....
I remember a house of the dead game, but instead of using a mouse or a gun to shoot the zombies and shiznit, you have to type out words. Quite good for keeping your typing skills up to scratch.

I never understood the point of that, anyway... if you can type, I'd say you're doing fine no matter what fingers you're using. I only use my first two fingers on each hand. Consequently, my hands are flying around all the time... it's sort of funny.
i do a combination of the two, for example to write this reply so far i've glanced at the keyboard twice to get my bearings and position my fingers correctly. If I'm typing an essay, once i get comfortable i can sit and talk to someone and look at them while i type

don't you even use your thumb for spacebar and little finger for enter?
Wish I could type without looking at my keyboard.
I have even a little dyslexia problem.
I try to use all of my fingers though.
Two intellectuals friends of mine write with only one finger per hand that is.
One is a librarian and write books this way.
They other, wrote his entire doc thesis ( 340 ) pages this way on a 40$ Brother
typing machine in 1986. Believe it or not. Imagine when he did a mistake and
had to redo it all again, because you don’t summit a thesis with liquid paper on it.

I use my thumb for space, little finger for shift (I never use the right one, only the left), and my middle finger for enter. But I don't count enter or the spacebar... I'm talking about letters.
I learned to type in the 10th grade, then had a refresher course in the service. I can about 60 wpm.
I've seen doods type like PhoeniX fast as hell and it blows my mind cause I have to use the home keys.
have to watch the keyboard when i type
