I've been using computers as far as I can remember... about 10 - 12 years I guess... I haven't spent much of that time typing though :)
I currently type with index and middle fingers in my left hand with the little finger on left shift, and my index finger on the right hand with the middle and ring fingers traveling to the backspace and enter every once in a while...
I habe a gairly jood isea of wjere ecert ket os kocared bur thid is whar jaooens wjen I din'r lppk ar the keyboard.
(I have a fairly good idea of where every key is located but this is what happens when I don't look at the keyboard.)
Hehe - the longest word is the only one I managed to type without mistakes...

do you know any professional programs for practicing typing? ones that can analyze common mistakes and such and direct you to those words more often or something like that?

BTW,
*** Benny, for how long have you been using a computer?

Your speed was: 67wpm.

You made 2 mistakes, your mistakes are shown in bold text

not bad considering i don't IM anymore, and that's how i used to get my practice in.

@ Laurie - hahaha! :p reason being, checked out SM for while as i hadn't been on it for a while and noticed your thread ;)

@ Architect - that must suck ey!

@ Benny - probably from being on the computer since the first grade nonstop. or typing really fast to my teammates in a game(counterstrike) as i don't want to die...

about the program, there are things like that. at my school, there was a program which did exactly that.

@ Neo - your missing out, IM is fun :D lol
