34wpm with 0 mistakes. I am a hunt and pecker. I can type pretty fast, when I am not reading info. Reading and typing slows me down quite a bit.

I'll never know. I looked at that page, figured by the time I was done the day would be shot, and both typing fingers would be too sore to press the brake levers today.

Tried it again...got a couple sentences done...and decided I had better things to do. I read at over 1900 wpm iirc.

37 wpm, 1 mistake. I'm not good at copying text. I kept screwing up and going back.
