When I was a kid, we had Mavis Beacon both at home and at school, along with other interactive programs and games for learning to type. In school we also had those silicon mask things to hide which keys were which in order to learn "home row" and all that.
These days though, I've memorized the positions of all of the keys, so while I _mostly_ use my index fingers to type, I also will switch to thumbs or other fingers on occasion depending on the keyboard. I rarely if ever look at the keyboard.
So it's almost like I use a combination of touch typing with pecking. Works well enough for me and my WPM isn't bad, either.
