@tenente I did a lot of typing back then, and took multiple classes in highschool for it. lol. Now, if i guessed my average at this point in time, it'd probably be between 75 to 85.
Back in the 1980s I had to take a typing test for a job interview. I had to type at least 30 words per minute. I didn't think I could do it. I practiced. I ended up typing 90 wpm. I think I was used to writing while I was typing and thinking about something else, not just copying words.
