I use all of my fingers including my thumb.

I took typing at Dear Old Ironton High.

Mrs. Mason taught the class and I hated it.

Those damned timed tests were pure torture to me!

David Moritz sat next to me and he cheated!

I am glad I know how to type now though.

I took typing in high school because that is where all of the hot chicks were. I use all 10.

Thanks goodness for Mrs. Wilson, my typing teacher. I can honestly say that typing was the most practical class I had in high school. I use the correct method.

my wife types amazing, she can do well over 100 words a minute as timed on her last test. it blows my mind to watch her. she is amazing on a keyboard, she does medical transcription, and scribe work. she has a curved keyboard that she uses at work. i tryed using 2 fingers, index on each hand. but felt out of control. ;-)

Hunt and peck for me. I use about four fingers. It has been a long time since I took typing in high school and never had to use it.

I had Mrs. Mason as well. Philip Heald and I used to cheat all the time.

Who would have thunk that typing would end up being my bread and butter.

I use eight fingers and two thumbs. There used to be a lot of typing learning software you can use to learn how to type. I couldn't stand that hunt and peck stuff I see some doing.

Put one index finger on the 'j' key and the other on the 'f' key and start learning. There are raised ridges on most keyboards to help you find the j and f key.

I used to do 65 words a minute, I'm down to about 62 now. Old age perhaps? that and I can't find my good reading glasses

I learned to type on the old manual typewriter freshmen year of high school. It paid off big time, through my undergrad and graduate work. I am not the speediest in the world but I do well with all 10 of my digits. I also have trouble with numbers.
