Nick H. Supervisor Posted December 23, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted December 23, 2004 I said other. As far as I know, I learnt to type using either Word, or using hotmail's "compose message" section. But for all I know, I don't really know how to type properly. All I know is that I dont use two fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liaqat_ali Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Just learned it myself, started with my first PC a 486, 1996 IIRC. Now I used 8 fingers, still got to get my pinky to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvizible Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 i think i learnt to type on a keyboard, though i might be wrong :p (i can do about 80wpm @ qwerty and have tried learning a bit of dvorak as it seems to make more sense, only think that stopped me is ctrl+c now is ctrl+i (where i is on qwerty is c on dvorak) and ctrl+v is ctrl+.(or something like that)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukachu Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 i learn how to type on some old apple macs and the old amiga computer i owned and later the 486DX that i had.. been on computers since i was 8 or 9 and it just kinda devolopes over time although i cant still have a few mistakes when im touch typing because i just have blanks as to where the keys are but im certainly not as fast a typer as my father... years on the old typewriters being a piolice officer typing up reports got him pretty good at typing. you want to see fast typing.. check out most chinese university students in china, or the itnernational students.. they can type chinese characters about as fast as many people i know can type one character and that requirs them to type between 2 and 5 english characters and then choose the correct character that matches those roman characters.. thats bloody fast. its a necessity when typing chinese.. my typing of chinese is terrbily slow unfortunately.

Chris Allen Veteran Posted December 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2004 Originally my Dad tried to get me to type using Mavis Beacon, but I was too bored to continue with it. So back in the days when ICQ was all the rage I learned how to type. When I ended up enrolling in a typing class I kicked everyone's ass. It was great.

lnmnky Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I don't type properly. I only use two fingers on each hand. I only use the keyboard for gaming, posting. and coding. I never have to type essays or anything. Otherwise I learn properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeee Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I just learnt to type over the years of using the computer. After you saying the whole using 2 fingers thing, i do except for space, return, enter, caps lock etc (i think, i watch the screen rather than my fingers) So... am i a crip at typing? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwisefoxburr Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I grew up on computers (Commodore 64 and Amiga, then PC in circa 1992 after the Amiga pretty much died), so ever since I was able to read letters, I was learning how to type. However, when DOOM came out, that gave me a lot of practice, because I was downloading all sorts of add-ons, levels, editors, et cetera, and since it was mostly DOS back then, I had to learn how to navigate. I was in fourth/fifth grade at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnDude Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Started on my Commodore 64 about 20 years ago. To play most of the games you had to type {Load"*",8,1} and then of course wait about 5 minutes for the game to load. :wacko: I got real quick typing that in. Then of course the type in programs in the magazines helped my typing skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
