Exactly, Baz. I was a 'touch typist' and, as such, had good keyboard speeds. Am also good at spelling. The last thing I need is some misbegotten heap of microchips trying to out think me!

Ditto, ST. Do you remember doing the speed tests in class? I also remember the sentences we used to type to test our knowledge of the keyboard, one of which was
"We all have our little idiosyncrasies" - fingers flying everywhere at speed!

I do remember - another one was "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party" and we had to type that in time to 'The Blue Danube'!
