Actually, I wasn't talking about simultaneous fingers (some adjustment is necessary for shift or cntrl of course), but one finger at a time, only using a few fingers instead of all 10. If you spend time around coders, or even other analyst type people that work on the computer all day, you've probably seen someone do that, haven't you? Some of the fastest guys can type with just a few fingers and I guess they just never learned to touch type the normal way. But it doesn't seem to slow them down. Crazy, but it works. And if you try it on your keyboard, you'll see what I mean... it's a little painful compared to touch typing without looking at the keys, but once you get used to it a little bit, you can go pretty fast without much discomfort!
Plus, the shift key can be set up to be sticky for one letter, with option to have caps lock. So that's really not a big deal either.
