I made a TVCH group - for us - we can certainly make our OWN list eh? :)

Go here first: http://typera.net/group.html

that's the link to our group - name TVCH - keyword TVCH (all caps)

After you type that in both of the blanks - then click the "set group" button.

Then go here: http://typera.net/

and where it says "start game" - type in your tvch name and select english sentence 2 minutes.

Rig: One thing I learned the few times I've tried this. Consistency! Consistency! Consistency! Don't get anxious. Don't try to SPEED through words you feel confident with. Just type with a rhythm that suits you. Then work on increasing the rhythm slowly.

Just my and I don't give change!

Drat! All I'm getting is "Cannot find server." Is the site down, or is it me?

Whoami: It appears to be down. I've traced the registration of the domain to Finland but that's as far as I can get it to go. Unfortunately, I don't have international long distance to call and see what's up! :) Maybe it will be back online after the weekend when someone realizes it's down!

Sorry.

Well geez - now you need almost 200 cpm just to make our list!

I still can't beat my high score - those 600 cpm'ers - need shot!

Uhoh

Oh wow, that was painful! I got tied up with "acknowledge" of all words...

Thanks for bringing this to us, Whit!!

If I see one more time "you're not on this list"!

Well, at least I finally got over 300 a few days ago! I'll probably never beat that! As soon as I make one mistake, I get all flustered and then really blow it!

Fab - whenever you get stuck on a word just hit space and go on to the next word :)

I am glad this came back to the top today. I went and tried a few more times and did much better.

Holy cow Sbw I guess so! Great job - now you need 473...:) You can do er.. remember if you realize you misspelled a word just hit the space it only counts correct words so backspacing and retyping it is just a big waste of time....

Whit, I went from #4 to #2 so it wasn't that big of a jump but I just can't make myself keep going. I have to backspace and try to make it right. The ones that turn red are "the" "is", the easy ones!

Whit, I just went back and tried a couple more times, I skipped 473 and went to 474. Your turn now --- 475. :)

Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 08:42 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oh and Whit, don't expect me to beat 475, ain't no way!

ok, show-offs. I am trying to beat 221 and look at you!! It must sound like guns are going off as you type!!!

Oh my Heck! And I feel like my fingers were flying to reach 319! Yikes!

Fab well as I said earlier the two ways to play are to try and beat your own score and to try and kick-butt on the person just above you... none of us and I'm a very very fast typer - can ever hope to beat those insane '600' plusers... that's why I made our own board so we can of course try and beat our own scores and also you know try and move up one on our little list.....

now sbw..your toast....lol.. :>)

(Congrats though .. I know how hard that is on this board!!! Since I've yet to beat it but now that I have an incentive........)

Stupid -'s hehe :o)

I wanted to try this but I couldn't get the game to start ... got a message about java. I have an Imac, so I'm wondering if the game is compatible with Macs? Anyone playing it on a Mac?

Uhoh

can't answer your question, hootyhoot, since i know nothing about macs :(

Wow! That was fun! I used to be 100 wpm, I can tell that I'm no longer doing an "administrative" support type job that my typing skills are suffering. 328 correct keypresses per min. or 65 words per min. :o

I hope I'm not bringing our group average down! I thought I was a pretty quick and accurate typist, but my first try said I was mediocre, my second said something better than that but I'm still mad at mediocre!
