My dad always called Chevrolets "winter survival cars",because when they broke down,miles from nowhere,you could stay alive all winter by burning the wood in the body.

I get by though.
 
I only had one short typing class, however I was able to burp out 128 WPM with 1 error over 5 minutes in 1998.

This was using my 1986 IBM model M clicky keyboard. These days I've probably slowed down and my errors are higher from my arthritis. I'm 30 years old but have arthritis throughout my body. Kinda stinks.

Point is, no I don't look at the keys to type, I watch what I'm typing. I learned to type simply from using forums starting back in 1993. You don't have to be shown how to type properly, its like anything else practice makes perfect.
 
At one time I could type almost 20 WPM,using both hands. After loosing parts of two fingers on the left hand,I use two fingers and look at the keys.

yes, but see...missing the point! :)
If I move my fingers one position to the left with 'chevrolet' I get 'xgwceikwr'.
but moving them one position to the left with ford gets 'dies'.
See if...nevermind. :)

Also, I'd actually kinda like to come up with something good for chevy, but the above two are kind-of a stretch. We need something better. I'll think about that....

Like HAL in "2001 A Space Odyssey", one shift over from IBM, but not on a Qwerty keyboard.

Sigh,
He means his fingers were 1 key off all in the same direction thus typing dies instead of ford.

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. People in this forum are often either nasty or sarcastic to others and they never would be in person. Its completely unecessary in my opinion. :mad:

This of course does not mean everyone, but it happens A LOT.

eh, what do I know.
 
i like lucas electrics and i am trying not to look at the keyboard, i used to be abe[le tp typw without lookson at the kaybaors but that was a lomd time ago
