- A while ago I timed myself, and concluded that I could type about as fast
- as I could write by hand illegibly, and faster than I could write anything
- I wanted anyone else to read. That is still substantially slower than I
- type on an ordinary keyboard, but it is fast enough for most purposes short
- of writing articles on the Psion, which could be done but would be a little
- clumsy. And I think I am slowly getting faster.
-
- I use three fingers of each hand (and the thumb for the space bar). It is
- not quite touch typing, since I generally look at the keyboard, but it is a
- lot faster than hunt and peck.
