If it is my usual desktop keyboard then I'm pretty fast (although the backspace key still gets used a lot).

However, put me infront of a strangers keyboard or even on my laptop keyboard and my speed slows down and the mistakes increase.

That's the problem with not looking at the keys when you type.

But you know when the truth is told,
That you can get what you want or you can just get old,
Your're going to kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realise... Vienna waits for you?
