Yeah, I can do 100-120 but that would typically involve something unusual like retyping something I already see on screen. Creative tasks are typically limited by something else. Formal typing classes in middle-school were useless, but over the next summer some form of touch-typing arose anyway from arguing with people on forums and newsgroups. ("Home row? I dunno, I just put my hands wherever feels right.") I have no brain-scan science for this, but it feels like queuing up things into my touch-typing hands frees a different brain-circuit to think ahead a bit more, while at the same time their unfinished task keeps me from being distracted too far off-course. __________ > "Technicians?
