hunt n' peck or home row?Follow
Home row as well. Its the only way to fly. ~grin~ Especially with a 96wmp typing speed.
home row, with hunt and peck tendencies for numbers.
Home row. About 70 wpm. I feel so inferior

I use a hybrid. It's basically an upgraded hunt n' peck, but I seem to type quickly and accurately with it.
I can stare at the keyboard and recognize when I make a mistake, so I just fix it without looking up. Terrible I know, but it works for me. I can do the whole home row thing somewhat, but I have gotten so used to my system.
I was one of the kids that cheated on those lame typing tutors they forced on us in elementary school.

I also use a hybrid. Hunt and peck from way back but tending more towards home row now. I can type most stuff without looking at the keyboard unless I make a mistake, which isn't terribly often. No idea what my WPM is, it was 60 in the 6th grade which was 1987, so I've probably sped up a bit since then. Never took a typing class. Actually learned to type playing those old Infocom text adventures (Zork series, the Enchanter series, Wishbringer, etc.).
Edit: Okay, I have actually slowed down a bit. Just took a typing test online and was 48 WPM. Typed a tad slower than normal cause I lost my place a couple times so around 60 is probably my max. Gets my reports written in time, and that works for me.

Homerow for the most part. Unless I'm facing heavy server lag that makes it impossible for me to type at my full, normal speed. In which case, I'll grudgingly sit there and hunt/peck my sentences out.
I type with my ********** so it's more of a slapping/rolling action most of the time.

I would, but I can't get mine off the ground.

I told you tying a weight to it was a bad idea.

Home row, btw.

I use coder.
We don't hunt and peck, nor do we use home keys.
we memorize the entire keyboard to get quickaccess to the whole thing, and never hover over any key but the ; for too long.

Only, I, Chubbycox can do that. I hunt, then a cockpeck.
I use a kind of modified home row.. my index fingers are on the 'f' and 'j', but the rest are all over the place. Something like 'left shift' 'a' 'e' 'f' and 'j' 'i' 'o' ';'. Never took a typing class, just kinda evolved naturally.
Home row is a necessity when you are on the internet all the time and playing online games. I used to type at 70wpm, but I think now I'm down to like 55-60. Not as good as a pro secretary, but better than the general population.
Home row. 86ish wpm with 85% accuracy. Or atleast thats what I was at when I started this class 4 months ago....
Btw the asylum sux *** at the minute so you oot'ers have to entertain me for a bit.

Home row. And I can touch type on the numeric keypad insanely fast. Why you ask? Okay, no you didn't but I'm going to tell you anyways Well, one day my friend and I in junior high school decided to simulate pro baseball. The idea was we'd get a bunch of old baseball cards, draft them into teams, and play them against each other. The only problem was typing all those numbers. He wrote the code by which we entered the teams and saved them to disk (this was Apple ][+, with Basic, so it was saved onto floppies). The only problem was there was no way to edit. Anything. Ever. Make a mistake? Retype the entire team.
It was a great day when we got a crappy old 286 and a pascal compiler. The heavens opened and everything was so, so much easier. We actually had a pascal manual. We could write - wait for it - functions. But we didn't know how to make a "makefile" kind of thing so all our functions were in one file. It was really, really long.
Recently, I looked up these pro baseball text based simulators, and some are insanely complex but I read some of their message boards and actually there are features we had in the 1980's written in Basic in a single giant monolithic program which they don't have in their huge games.
One example is BaseBall Mogul, which I last got in 2000. It didn't have the concept of handedness (right vs. left) which is important in baseball. Anyhow, we had that. If I recall correctly, the line looked like:
name, name 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 r
where the name, name was the person's names the numbers are a list of stats (like at bats, hits, doubles, triples, etc) and the r indicated right handed.
It was really annoying that some cards didn't include some really basic stats, like for pitchers some didn't include number of hits so we had to make up an algorithm to determine how many hits probably occured given the other information like innings pitched, runs scored, earned runs, etc.

Self taught, so a hybrid of sorts and only 50-70-ish wpm, depending on copy or thought.
Home row, and I'm a crappy typist. Never could go much faster than 55wpm.
