    Did one just now. It isn’t the fastest that I’ve done but I’m also on a different-than-normal keyboard (an ortholinear split mechanical keyboard).

      Bah!!! Beginners numbers…

      I’ll have you know I barely passed typing class on one of those IBM ball electric typewriters at 31wpm.

      On the IBM computers with word perfect 5.1 from the 5.25’ floppy. I was much faster… 32wpm.

      Then I got ulnar nerve damage from a terrible bicycle accident in Europe aka… I fell off… and now I average 20wpm.

      Damn dude, I’m not a slow typer but 91 words per minute is blistering fast. Gave it a go on my laptop keyboard with the benchmark test (2 minutes) and ended at 64WPM with only one typo.
