Usefull computer modification

How many time have you looked up to your screen to realise that everything you spent typing (except the first letter of sentences and proper nouns) is in capitals because the cap lock is on?
Ferrets are particularly skilled at locking caps BTW.
Get a knife and lift the key out and chuck it in the bin, you never use the thing anyway.

ok, well google "touch typing for beginners" or something similar

your life will be easier, and you may even enjoy the learning process

typing tests can be like a computer game, i can get about 50 words per minute

i can probably do about 30wpm with just my left hand

if you only use one finger, you are going to be really suffering and must be doing 5 wpm or something

This is the result of sixty seconds worth of typing with one finger and not looking at the screen , it is not that bad although I will not be able to spell check it or correct the spacing on a coma ......

Time up!

it will be a lot easier if you learn to type properly

its possible to use a spanner as a hammer, but its a lot easier to use a hammer

I never learnt to touch type but I can do it. Just takes time in a couple of years you might (only because of your finger issues) be touching typing like the rest of us. My go at the one min typing (excuse spelling and grammar mistakes:

Go, so this is me typing for one minute as quick as I can, while stilling trying to stop my mistakes. However I don't know how well I will do. I could just embrasse myself becuase of the silly spelling mistakes but it doesn't matter. The link that Gman posted was copied by my mate for his programming course work at university. It was a fun game.

Any way that was 67 words... but I wouldn't call that 67wpm, because you could just type what you wanted, a true test is when you have to copy something into the computer, without mistakes. Enough willy waving (and expects to get shown up by someone now).

Ok I am just really bored and don't want to revise for an exam tomorrow.

Edit: Just word counted yours Ariel, and you got 42, which is damn impressive in my eyes doing 1 finger looking at the keyboard typing.

Touch type is for girls, real men use just two fingers and watch what they are doing.

I generally use 2 fingers. I also like the use of the head, the fist then the foot.

Added bonus is that this usually removes that pesky cAPSLOCK key.
