How fast can you type? I think I clocked myself somewhere around 100 words per minute once. Of course, not everyone types as fast (or as slow--depending on how you look at it). Can your keyboard keep up with you? How often do you use your cursor keys? Do they respond quickly? Open up the Keyboard applet in the Control Panel. >From there, you can manipulate the rate and delay. My suggestion: set them to the max! You can also change keyboard settings easily from the command prompt by typing: "mode con: rate=32 delay=1" (without the quotes). Keep those fingers on home row.
