Im between 65 and 70. Although maybe it's a bad thing that I only use two of the fingers on my right hand. Shrug.

When I was trying it out I was getting between 60 and 70 WPM.

As sort of a side note, I have some friends at college who are piano and organ players. Now those guys can type fast allright.

I must be a little rusty, took the test three times, averaged 64WPM after correcting for accuracy. My accuracy was 95%. Used to be able to type 70~75 around 95~98% accracy. Guess I'm gettin lazy, must be doing too much surfing using just my MX1000
