I learned to type sitting on the floor in front of the family TV, on a
commodore 64 with a really poor keyboard. Now I have a bad back and failing
vision. Anyway, I tried to learn touch typing many years later, and just
could not; I tried for some months before throwing in the towel. My typing
is fast enough for my purposes, but my hands, whilst typing, look like a
squid having an epileptic fit after someone has tried to tied it into
several pretsel shapes.
I wish decent voice recognition would come together. I've made a really
serious stab at using IBM's Via Voice in the last couple of months;
hopeless.
