34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 My dear mother tried so hard to persuade me of the value of touch typing but it was only when the WIMPS computer appeared, (precursors to the present PC) that I sort of acquired the art.

eastwestdivide Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 A lot of keyboards have a raised pip on the "home" keys of F and J to help the touch typist locate their fingers. Hope that helps (or Nl;d gnzg nd.;x shifted down a row) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
