As simple as that. Kind of drum-o-meter-style addictive. My personal record so far is 1.922 seconds. I challenge you gentlemen! __________________ www.intakt.dk

EDIT: OK, 4.425 now, but I really must get back to work! __________________ Visit www.johngregson.co.uk and be happy. Last edited by johngregson : 01-22-2006 at 04:04 AM.

EDIT: OK, 4.109 now...God, I'm never going to sleep tonight. 3.594 2nd attempt! Right, last time: 3.062. Still not satisfied.

But, There are certain letter rows that you can 'roll' over in quick succession, with minimal motion: e.g. C,D, E, or F,G,H, and J, K,L. That should up the letter-per-minute quotient significantly... Oh dear, I HAVE to leave the house soon, or I'm going to go completely insane. __________________ Visit www.johngregson.co.uk and be happy.

Perhaps you can do an remix ICM-death-country-style?
Play some dblbass-blasting on it?
Have some blonde guy with long hair screaming ABCDEF.... next to your head at 200Bpm?
You'll figure out something..
