Anybody here tried this program? Any good?

Not tried that one, but I did learn to touch type many, many years ago
using something similar.

Thing is, I've been typing with 2 fingers for donkey's years and I'm not
slow, but I need to learn to type without looking at the keyboard. What
I'm finding really hard is using all fingers. For instance, I can't reach
the enter key with my right little finger, neither can I reach the shift
key with either little finger (without lifting my hand from the keyboard,
which sort of defeats the object). Are there any known excercises for
flexibilizing the fingers, or is the actual act of touch-typing in itself
the only way?

Playing the piano helps, as does playing the guitar.
