In college, I had to take a 1-credit hour lab course on MS-Office so that I could take an accounting class I wanted.

The first lab featured a typing test app where you had to be able to type 40wpm or they made you drop the class. The app was a DOS app that a) made you type a certain bit of unchanging text every time for the test, and if you finished it type it again until you made a certain number of mistakes.

I wrote a borland basic TSR that pretended to be a keyboard, and typed in the corpus repeatedly.

The instructor apologized repeatedly for making me take the class, and looked utterly terrified of me for the rest of the semester after receiving my 300,000wpm test result.

You got off lightly there, the instructor could have made you his assistant and farm out typing up all the course notes. At that speed that shouldn't have taken more than a few minutes of your time ;)

...did you happen to go to NC State? Just wondering if you took the same class I was supposed to take (placed out after a night of cramming on excel, having never used it before)
