I got 37 on my first attempt can't remember what I got on my second attempt, I got those results using my laptop which I can type much faster on.60 wpm with 7 mistakes (corrected em though :pac: ) not bad for a first attempt?
On this PC I get 45wpm, haven't used this keyboard for years so not quite used to it yet.
I really miss my laptop though
Just had a text from my boyfriend asking me if I've ever watched Take Me Out. Then he says "The tide would't take some of those ones out!" :pac:
Anyone here ever tried those new Orange Aero's? God the so delicious. I have to sitting behind me saying, dying to eat them, but need to have dinner first and it won't be cooked for a while. Boo. :rolleyes: 0 -

51 wpm and no mistakes. My speed has gone down slightly. In my word processing exam that I did during my FETAC secretarial course my speed was 54-55 wpm.

I'm lucky my arthritis is just in my knees! Although the carpal tunnel in my wrist doesn't help. :pac:got it 70 on my second attempt with 2 mistakes. and me with arthritis in my hands and all, who says years of video games and internet dont yield results :pac:
I tried that test and got 51 WPM with 3 mistakes when I type the 'wrong' way that I'm used to. But I can barely get to 18/19 WPM when typing correctly with all the fingers on the correct keys.
That's why I'm finding learning to type so frustrating- I'm over half my normal speed when I try and do it properly, it's too easy to cheat and go back to using the wrong fingers and speed up! 0 -

Had an absolutely gigantic dinner followed by homemade choc chip cookies, I'm too stuffed to move off the couch!
Do most of you type a lot at work/college?! I never used a computer in school, rarely in college and never type in work.
I'd be flying if I could test myself on the number keypad one though! :pac: I use that one all day at work- rarely type anything that isn't numbers though- can't wait until I can type 40-50 WPM correctly and accurately. Purely for posting here more, of course.
Mmmmm- cookies. :P0 -

I have gotten much quicker at typing since I started my own business and send a million emails a week! I got a Distinction in Word Processing in my PLC course after Leaving Cert, I was doing an Art course, very arty people suck at computers, I'm not very arty, so I was the best in the class! I finished the course 8 weeks before the rest of them so had Monday morning classes free, the tutor told me at one stage he'd break my fingers if I didn't slow down, I wasn't fast, they were all slow! I remember watching one of my best friends there (she is the artiest person alive) spend a good 15 seconds looking for B.0 -

I had a class in Transition Year in school where we were taught to type 'properly' so I've had about 10 years' practice, and I'm at a computer all day in work too so I guess it's just habit for me at this stage!0 -

Bills/expenses/car tax/nights out/birthdays/mother's day/rent etc all need to be paid at the same time. I think it's the law.rebel girl 15 wrote: »Up in Castlebar for the weekend and in Dublin on Wednesday, plus a nutrition exam on Tuesday - typical everything costing me money happens when I'm nearly broke! Should be an interesting weekend though!
If I didn't get paid weekly I think I'd starve.

We've had crazy pricey weeks the last while. €300 to get house sprayed outside and remove algae stuff, €200 for pet food, €300 for oil, €40 for plumber, €350 for carpet/flooring, €100 for massages, €160 car tax, €110 for antivirus software, among other things... 0 -

The free ones are actually really really good.
windows security essentials is the job, does everything you need it to and its free, I had antivirus stuff before and took it all off and used that instead, found it way better and didnt slow my laptop down to a crawl like *shudder* McAfee.
or just get a mac :pac:0 -

I can't say I had much fun removing them........
does it have a million toolbars and search addons as well, what is it with older people accepting anything the internet says you should have, some of our pcs at work are like that, half the screen is taken up with every craptacular search function and social thingy on the net, looks like this:

Nah, we did the whole Maevis Beacon thing in 1st year of Secondary. It was just practice (and misspent youth) after that.0 -

That's for two computers, mine is only €20, boyfriend's pc is his very expensive baby and we've both had enough problems with viruses whilst having free software that we'd prefer to stick with the good ones we've found.0 -
