Hello all,

I have the feeling that most of the crowd at 43F is pretty much fluent with typing on a computer keyboard - IT people ; like you don't have to look at the keyboard to type your messages. I think that typing is teached at school in the US for quite some time now, but here, in France, I've not been through such lessons. Everytime I see somebody typing and staring at the screen continuously, it's like seeing someone juggling with 4 empty wine bottles at the same time. My job doesn't really require me to be a keyboard ninja while typing texts, but I realised I had to go ahead and learn to type correctly in order to spend less time on writing emails or posts like this one. Or type more in the same amount of time...

I've downloaded a nice freeware app for mac called 2T4Mac. I'm doing the exercices since two days, and my improvements already show up.
I wondered if you guys had some tips or experiences - even bad ones - to share and get others to improve better and faster on this issue. Like, what's the ideal amount of time for each lesson, how long should it take to be able to type a simple message nicely, special tricks, exercices,...

Thanks a lot in advance for your input.
Thibaut
