Laptop's keyboards seem to be a touch more sensitive than normal keyboards.  Not to mention the travel space between the key and actual function is shorter on a laptop than a normal keyboard.  Only problem being, laptops (at least mine) are rather small, and i have rather large fingers and they seem to hit the wrong keys if i type faster than 50 wpm or so.  I haven't actually timed myself.  But i know it is slower.

What's ATC. If it's like typing class then that's a good improvement. I went from 70's to 80's. Oh well. I can get in the 100's if its an easy sentence.

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),

An interjection starts a sentence right.

Someone asked about the Natural Evolution keyboard a while back.  Basically this guy wrote an algorithm to create the most efficient keymap for a keyboard given a lot of typed content.  What he ended up doing was copying and pasting like three or four books from Project Gutenberg, like 10 years of emails, approximately 500,000 lines of source code and some other miscillaneous (sp?) text items.  When the algorithm finished it popped out a keymap which was similar to dvorak but had certain keys put in different places.  In other words it produced probably close to the most efficient keymap, but who's to say really.  I'm tryin to find a link to it but I'm not having any luck, I'll post it if I manage to find it.

Guess what, I found it.  It isn't called Natural Evolution it's called best evolved.  Anyway, here's the link
