TUTORIALS - Typing
For those of you who might want to improve your typing, here are a
couple of on-line typing tutorials:
- www.typing.com/ - Thomas'
Typing Tutorial uses an animated transparent hands on keyboard
display to teach you how to type.
- http://www.mrkent.com/kb/keyboard.htm
- MrKent's Typing Tutor not only teaches you to type, but also
to "speedread". For typing there are some parameters
you can set such as "timing" of your typing, and "skill
level".
