Well, now I can up my listed WPM typing speed form "40+" to "60+" rather safely. I think on Typer A, I got about 56 WPM last time.

[edit]Hmm... what are you guys' hand sizes? My Span(the distance between your pinky and thumb tips with a fully-spread hand) is 9.5-10 inches, what are yours?[/edit]

Man, I know I can do so much faster, but I'm just way off today.

I'll try this again on my other computer, cause the keyboard is at the perfect height for typing. This computer I just use for downloading various things, so I don't really use it that much.

P.S. Kai, I go for consistency too... However, if I didn't, I'd have about 115/100. The only reason I let that other error slide was cause I was on a roll Cool

How is that rediculous? A friend of mine can type at 130 without a problem (he actually outperformed the typing teacher at school, so she was always pissed at him).

Seriously though, that's my actual speed.
