In my senior year of high school, i signed up for a typing class for an easy credit since I had already been accepted to the college of my choice. We all had to take a baseline test at the beginning of the course and I scored 140 words per minute on the computer program. The teacher made me run it again, since she assumed the program was mistaken. I proceeded to clock 142 while she was standing there watching- and she asked me to leave the class. That was 11 years ago, and I doubt I'm any slower now. One of the few benefits of being a computer geek since the 3rd grade.. It certainly didn't impress the girls at the time! Well, selling my software company when i was 23 did go a long way towards assuaging my lack of dates in high school. ;)
