    125 with no errors on the 2nd try. 97 on first try but I went back and corrected two mistakes.

    I credit my ability to type fast to speeding tickets in high school. The lubbock "teen court" gave me community service which I did at the american heart society or something like that..just typed **** all day.

    So far, I am the slowest @ 27wpm. About hte same as what I did when doing the typing Tutorial years ago. I probably do faster when I'm actually looking at the keyboard while typing.

    I only use my middle & index fingers on both hands...

    Thats a habit I will never be able to break.

    90 - with two errors - first try.

    Added an extra comma in one place, and made a period a comma.
