Yea...data entry positions today Im practicing to try to at least get one. My maximum speed is 55 wpm but that's when It's at its peak, my average is around 35-40 depending if I spell and punctuate correctly. I thought that I should find a skill that I would be good at, and use it daily. Yea, I have seen some keyboarders up all the way at 220wpm in youtube.
There's a diffrent kind of keyboards. One is called a "Dvorak"[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard] which was redesigned from the regular keyboard called a "QWERTY" which is the one your using right now. It was designed to increase the speed and make it easier to type faster. Still I would hate to relearn all my keyboard skills. I'm sticking with the one I have.
