Be very careful, I tried to use two fingers once and lost several pints of blood! |

Did this happen using one finger of each hand? Or two fingers from one hand? This is so confusing, I'd really appreciate a howto Brian.

Two fingers on one hand. It will probably be another year or two before I attempt using both hands, because that's real leet stuff.

I used one finger from one hand and a finger from someone else's hand. Maybe that's where I went wrong...

Did this someone else donate their finger voluntarily? |

Or was it an intrusion on your privacy?

I'll say this: my old typing tutor used to say "a great typist needs four things: skill, patience, a sharp saw and not to be too squeamish" - make of that what you will.
