*splutter* that's incredibly funny. i needed a laugh. i hope you won't take offense, mick :) anyway. yes, really 170wpm, peak. i _can_ keep up with real-time conversations if necessary for about an hour, but not at 100% accuracy because it's done not looking at the keyboard but at the people speaking. hurts like hell though, too :) "accurate" text i can do about 2500 words per hour, technical writing, including reviews _and_ capital letters, you'll be pleased to hear [wrote the "pyjamas book" - 10,000 words - in a week, part-time]. but to do that i have to know the subject well, like bram cohen when he planned bittorrent in his head for months and then wrote it all down. electrical memory of brain, not chemical memory, and all that. ok, end of side-track :) l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
