Are you a PECKER or
 
Ok just a quick poll who out there is a PECKER?








Do you type online with the 2 finger pecker or the full 10 finger suffle?
Not to be confused with the knucle shuffle.:rofl: :nanana:

Me, I'm a 2 finger Pecker with the with tumb on the space bar.:thumbup:

Not a typist. I make it up as I go...

Dblock2151 06-24-2007 02:44 PM

I'm somewhere in between. :)

Well, I voted for 10 fingers (8 plus thumbs?) as I am a touch typist. I used to be over 100 wpm on an IBM Selectric, I am probably closer to 75 these days on a computer keyboard with little to no tactile feedback.

However, I don't quite understand the three options. How does one type with 10 fingers? I use 9, as the left thumb is not utilized as all. Is that just me? Do left handed people use their left thumb instead of their right thumb? Does anyone use both thumbs on the spacebar?

I use both thumbs. It depend on which hand is used for the key following the space bar...I use the opposite thumb to hit the space bar.

thumbs on spacebar,
index and middle to type majority,
ring to press outboard keys,
and pinky for shift and control

Eight fingers here, both thumbs on the spacebar.
I never was as fast as JCL, in my Typing 2 class I only got a 'B' with 82 wpm and less than 3 mistakes and that was on a really, really old manual.

I am left handed an I stil use my right thumb to hit the space bar I use all 8 fingers as well...upgraded to a split keyboard about 6 months ago and it has been a great tool in increasing my speed and accuracy

Never noticed this until I read this post, but I seem to use the right index and right middle finger, and left index EXCLUSIVELY. The other fingers dont touch the keyboard at all (left thumb for spacing)...Maybe thats why my hands are always f*&#in' killing me!:rolleyes:

I can't beleive that there are only 2 Peckers on this Forum....

J/K!

Took typing in the High, (and glad I did),
and was cooking at 80+ wpm through college
pumping out stuff.

Still type well, imo, alphabet-wise, though numbers and the
"add ons" often cause me to look.

Speaking of typing, my beef is I need/want a 'puter keyboard
minus most of the extraneous bs keys that get in my way:
control on lower left, caps lock, the windows, Alt and other
keys on both left and right outside of the space bar, etc.

"They" could put those way out of the normal key board space
and I'd wouldn't miss them. Rant over...don't look: type!
