That said, I can think of two people (HWSO and arAustin) who both type
like that and are actually faster than I am on occasion. The only
difference seems to be that they make - and thus need to correct - more
mistakes than I do. This may well be because whereas my fingers know
exactly where to go for all the keys they are concentrating on finding
keys in addition to working out what to type so they're thinking about
more things at one time than I am. Or it may just be that even though I
can touch type I'm not as fast as I might be.
