Well, this old geezer learned to type on an electric typewriter (IBM Selectric I, as I recall...;) They put a sheet over the keys to ensure you couldn't look at the keys. I thought at the time it would be a good way to meet girls in school (another age, when dinosaurs walked the Earth...;)

I do around 40-60, but have slowed down lately because I have to feel for the indentations on j and f keys, which happens when I get lost. It's not blinding speed, but it gets the job done.
