This is a great way to get in shape for the game threads.

69 WPM, but kinda slow compared to what I used to be able to do in high school, before there was such a thing as the backspace key.

The apparently archaic two-spaces-between-sentences rule trips me up.

84 wpm, good enough for first place tonight. I can't figure out how to print the screen to prove it, so you'll have to trust me.

Yeah the 2 spaces after a sentence thing kept screwing me up. So did my lack of typing skills.

Orel, Sax - does this make either of you guys think of the summer of '84?

Steve Sax said...

Absolutely, EK. That was also when I got my first real six-strng; bought it at the five and dime.

Those were the best days of my life!
