I didn't make any of these prior postings, but I can identify with those who can type over 100 . .I was tested once on a Selectric in a hospital about 25 years ago and was doing about 90 then after corrections, tested about 15 years ago at 125 WPM with a service at their office one of their computers, so no Expanders in place, after corrections. The prior poster was right, your fingers just do their own thing when trained well. I have no clue what my speed is now WITH expanders, would be fun to know.
