Bit of both here too, but mainly by touch. I do make quite a few mistakes if I'm not looking where my fingers are, but I can pretty much type without looking. I'm faster looking where my fingers are though.

Well, I do a little bit of both. I hunt and peck, but it goes so fast it doesn't really look that way (i. e., I have to look at my hands when I type).

The number of conotations to this thread are numerous and amount. I look at what my hands are doing, but I know where everything is. With big long/hard-to-spell words, I tend to look at the screen and make sure it looks right whilst I'm typing it.

I voted for Touch, because I am capable of doing it when there is a lot of straight typing to be done.

Computer applications tend to make you look, because there are so many times that your fingers get off the home keys to use Trackball, hold multiple keys, insert diskettes or CD's, et cetera.

Often getting off the home keys gets you in the habit of looking to find them again. Then you tend to peek while typing.

Touch type here...It is strange how you can know you have typed wrong without looking to the screen nor keyboard! Just face looking into a paper and there you copy without looking to screen at all. This comes automatically after ten years of experience with somekind of computer. :rolleyes:

Said somekind, because I can't rate C64 a computer nowadays, can I? It's a good machine though :D
