Learning to type

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.

    Use basic (and free, preferably) typing programs and play lots of online MMOs. Typing programs can be boring, but web chatting is a good way to simply practice your typing. I guess forums are just as good of an alternative. That's basically how I got to typing quickly by the time I was out of elementary school. Oh, and go slow. Just like an instrument or something, focus on precision and technique, and speed will increase with practice. And, "home row" keys. Some people don't bother, but I think it's best for structuring a "beginner" typing foundation. Eventually, you'll be able to dash out numbers without moving your palms.
