How fast can you type?

How fast can you type?

There is a free online-typing test, http://www.typingtest.com/ . Simply go to http://www.typingtest.com/ (or this direct link) and start your typing speed test.

Once you complete the typing test, please post the result (in WPM). I will post my typing speed a bit later.

Note: Java 1.1 is required.

Antony would probably like to know that I learned how to type on one of his beloved Apple products, the Apple IIe. :wink:

Same here; I found out that some people don't even know how to type properly (i.e. without looking at where the keys are) when somebody tore the keys off the keyboards in the lab and put them back on randomly.
