When I am working people my hands are all over the place, rapidly 
moving between the keyboard (while receiving exchanges), the paddle 
when sending and the tuning knob between QSOs. And grabbing a slurp 
from the cup of tea by the side. But while typing my two hands and ten 
fingers and thumbs are where they should be - hovering over the home 
keys. My eyes of course are on the screen watching what I am typing. 
This is so instinctive you don't need to think about it. Once you can 
touch type you ALWAYS do so, it is impossible to do it with two fingers 
or one hand (and you won't find any spelling errors in this email 
either...).
