Re: Interesting speed test

Sorry I have not posted in the last week but it was an exciting one. Just to add a little note about QWERTY. My wife was given an award by Olivetti/Underwood when she graduated for achieving 115 WPM for 15 minutes without error. For those of you older guys who remember the original IBM Selectric Typewriters, she would burn one up in about 3 months of work as a legal secretary. And to add insult to injury, that work was transcribing shorthand to finger stroke for a final printed copy. That takes even more concentration than CW to pencil. The firm eventually went to electronic typing to tape (predecessor to modern computers for text) and that machine was able to keep up with her speed without breaking.
