HA!  But it's not really about the typing as much as NOT having to do some 
*unnecessary* things...and using more Automation for a significant 
time-savings.  As previously stated, I now like the term "Alternative 
Contesting Mode" vs. the initial suggestion.

Like yourself, I took a typing class in school.  It was in the 9th grade, 
because the class was primarily made up of cute girls :-)  Back then, I got 
to 120WPM with no errors on a 5 minute timed test.  But now at 61, umh, I 
am too often Mr. fumble-fingers.  That's one reason the weekly NCCC NS 
"practice sessions" are so good.

I'll buy you a pitcher of beer at the next NCCC meeting and we can chat in 
more detail about this issue.
