I have noticed a distinct break in the number of poeple who can touch type
based on age, at least among people who have been using a computer for 
a while.  People older than 27 or so can touch type; people younger than 
this can't.  There are exceptions, of course.  Lots of people never learn 
to type properly, even when they have to type everything.  Some people 
learn, even if they have been using mice since the age of 4.  

David, who learned to type on a cardpunch.
