I have tried to use Mavis Beacon's typing programs. And they have
helped.
But having large fingers and arthritis and mild carpeltunnel (sp?) 
and more whining and more whining ...
Needless to say, I don't type very fast. So I never could get to the
speeds that could be bragged about. The only thing that I can do to help
is use a Dvorak keyboard. Keeps me from having to move the fingers as
much.

p.s. Take your time reading this as it took me some time to type it.:)
