Re: A Survey... or Something
I have my fantastic typing skillz to thank! All we did in middle school computer class was Type To Learn. So when I finished that about a month ahead of schedule, my computer teacher (who shall remain nameless) had no choice but to introduce me to a useful piece of software. 
And so it began!

We used Type To Learn.
SHIPMENT OF FAIL ALRIGHT!
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Aw, we never used any typing programs... I just typed by seeing "Oh, x is here, y is here," and then just got faster at it. I don't even know how I learned where I was supposed to put which fingers... I sorta improvise. But it's not like I use one finger.

Wow! I have a virtually identical story.
In typing class in 5th grade we were required to take a Pre-Test to evaluate our typing skills. I got 63 Word Per Minute and 2 Errors and didn't have to take the class. The head of technology at my school took me, (and 3 other students) aside and told us about Scratch.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
