Typing Speed Test
There was some discussion on the Board about typing speed...got me thinking about Mavis Beacon...Anyway:
Here is: Online Typing Speed Test
It takes 1 minute, painless. Post your score! 
I took the test once, bad run, but my score was whopping 37 wpm as a hunt-n-pecker. 
Try and beat THAT score. 
I am sending this to the Mrs.- she's fassssst.

Cool site! I honestly haven't done a WPM test since my teenage Mavis Beacon days. I got as good as 40 WPM back then, if I'm recalling correctly. 77 WPM today! With one error... Glad to see I've improved in something.

I just looked up "Mavis Beacon" on Wikipedia. Did you know that there IS no Mavis Beacon? The name is entirely made up and the box photo is of Caribbean-born model Renee L'Esperance!

I don't know...I feel so....betrayed...so duped by Marketing Teams. 
That is a fun fact that she is fictitious.

Don't listen them, Rusty. It's Fake News.
I hope you and Mavis are very happy together.

For anyone who has an older PC: I still have a 3-1\2 "Mavis Teaches Typing" probably find it in shareware as well. LoL

That test won't work for me. It measures your skill in "WPM".
My typing is in "MPW".

This is from our honeymoon. Better times. Things have been rough for Mavis as of late, the arthritis slows her speed and it makes her gloomy.

I'm good for 100 wpm in real life. I don't have the best technique, but at that speed, as long as I can be accurate, I doubt anyone would care. (This is why I can post the really long posts that I put up here... they don't take me all that long to type!  )
