Keyboarding was by far the most useful class I ever took in high school, even more valuable than all of my 8 AP classes together. Nothing has proven more useful on a day-to-day basis.

#22Another interesting question would be, who has learned NEO or Dvorak layouts and actively use them.
I learned the Dvorak layout in 2002 and have used it ever since. I have never met anybody else in real life who has bothered though!
I type letters 8-fingered. My little fingers press the meta keys and Return. This might affects my typing speed a bit, but I type at 75+wpm, which is about as fast as I can think of anything worth typing.
