Yes, I, for example, can type 28 words a minute which is and was plenty
good enough. I use two fingers and don't 'hunt' at all except for # and
such but prefer to check what key I am pressing.
The only problem I have ever had was on a in-house course on AmiPro where
the organiser had never considered slow typists. You had to copy out a
page before doing each exercise on use of a feature so I had to skip some
items in order to keep up.
