Another stats thing but not for a project

Sounds like a plan. ^

I will try it and I'll post back any progress.

You did that in just one afternoon?

Yes I did. I was learning some crazy arpeggiated piece by Liszt around that time too, so touch-typing was a doddle by comparison.

Well done. Oh no, wait, what kind of monster have I unleashed?!

Right-Track + increased typing speed = danger.

Well, anyway, I just noticed an ommission in my previous post. All of the alphabets I typed without looking at the keyboard and I was typing them as fast as possible until I made a mistake (following the computer screen to check for mistakes). If you make the whole process of typing completely kinetic and force yourself to type without the visual cue of looking at the keyboard and learn where the keys are by touch, then it very soon becomes instinctive.
