Tia, I think she is talking about on the computer.

I don't usually look, but I couldn't tell you where the letters are on the keyboard...kinda funny.

yeah they taught us typing way back in the day in elementary school

i remember there was ths one program they used called "Communakeys" and everything used to think it was so boring but i always thought it was really fun and would do it all the time :-P I think the fastest i can type is 82 wpm. but that's with mistakes.

we did too...I remember to stop doing it, we had to do our ABC's without looking...I was the first in my class, you can tell I wanted to do that.  

I didn't really start typing without looking until i started to go into chat rooms.

I used to type like a speed demon... my mom still sometimes comments on if I'm just pressing random keys or if I'm actually typing cuz I'm typing so fast... I actually remember typing 90 something wpm back in Middle School.  Haven't tested myself since then haha.

I took keyboarding back in the day, stupidass class.
I've been working with computers most my life, and I still look at the keys more than not. Fuckit. Its force of habit now.
