I’m with you, Maha: it’s text every time for me as well if I have a choice. I also learned to type on a typewriter — a manual typewriter at that, where you had to really *press* the keys to make them bite into the paper! I was about 13. A group of us were taken from our registration classes, before normal classes even began, and led up to this creepy room at the top of the building, and taught to type. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” Repeat. Repeat again. All fingers on the right keys… etc. For the first couple of days of this I thought it was some kind of punishment (none of my friends had to go). But it remains the most important practical lesson I’ve ever learned. I’ve been a touch-typist since the age of thirteen… The only time I was ever tested for speed was when I went to a job interview once. I was 60 wpm in the mid-90s. I imagine I’m about the same now.
