well, all through elementery we were forced to take typing classes, I did horrable in everyone of them, I was not intrested in computers at the time, later I got my mom to show me how to use the computer and how to surf the net, it took me a while, but I found a message board, and joined, and I was a very slow and horrable typest, but people on other boards who I have been apart of since I started posting on boards have really noticed just how much my typing has improved. I still have to look at the keyboard though otherwise my figers go everywhere but where they are supposed to, and I definatly dont do the whole home row thing! that just makes my typing worse. I do look up at the screen regularly(after each word, or phrase) though. but see how long this has gotten? in less then 2 minuts? lol this would have taken me at least an hour when I first started typing!
