I never typed properly, even on my electric typewriter in school.  But when I got my first internet-ready computer, I learned how to "chat type", which is typing quickly, but still looking at the keys.  One day I was in CompUSA and I saw a Mavis Beacon typing teacher software set (translation: CD-ROM) and I bought it.  With the markdown and rebate, I ended up paying about $5 for it.  And I learned where MOST of the keys are and I type pretty well now. Unless my boss is standing over me, dictating.  Then I have 6 thumbs.
