To type I only use my two index fingers. I tried an online typing test ([url=http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english]here[/url]), and managed to exceed 60wpm in each of my attempts, but doing so required very intense effort which I could never maintain.
I am sure some of you will be able to hit 100wpm, meaning a rate like 60wpm would be stress free and practical for everyday use. Learning to type properly seems like a skill I really should have, in this increasingly computer and productivity focused world.
I'm looking for suggestions on how best to learn.

Really all I did to get to place where I could type fast (~90 WPM) was just using computers frequently. I just developed the skills out of necessity to keep up with whatever it was I needed to in terms of using a computer. But seeing as how you've been a fairly active member of an online forum for over six years now, I would suggest finding some basic typing program online and buying a keyboard cover, as a previous user suggested. My grandparents, who obviously did not grow up on computers but wanted to learn regardless, did this and they're both competent typists at this point.
