I was given a computer at an early age and my mother didn't know how it worked and had never used a computer, and my grandfather was blind, and so had never used a computer either. I picked up how different keys and combinations worked myself at around the age of seven, and developed an awful habit of turning caps-lock on, pressing the letter I wanted in uppercase, and then turned caps-lock off again.
I'm thirty now, and a professional programmer, and it's only within the last few months that I've gotten away from the habit by disabling the caps-lock key, I might remap it to something else in the future.
I type at a pretty speedy pace, probably around 80-90 words per minute, my fingers don't rest on the home row. The only thing that bothers me with my current typing is that my left pinky has a tendency stick up, as if I'm drinking tea. [0]
