I used to be able to type 75 wpm on a standard manual typewriter, with only 2 mistakes during (I think) a 2 minute test. Back then we had to erase our mistakes, line up the paper again, and retype the letter. Computers used punch cards, so if you made a mistake programming, it usually meant punching a replacement card.

I don't run java on my computer, so I can't take the test you linked too....but I could get out one of the old typewriters and see how sorry I am now that I have a backspace key
