Can't turn off this new computer HOOKED!!!

Just bought this thing [my 1st computer], and found this mustangworks.com site and just have to turn this da** thing on every chance I get. Is their something wrong with me, except the fact that I type with my two index fingers???? My wife's bit**in' because I tie the phone line up! Fixed that problem, bought her a cell phone. How can I get my car ready for this season if I can't get away from this da** computer?? My old lady thinks I'm having cyber-sex or something!!! Keep up the good work. Can't believe I thought computers would never catch on. UH-OH, I've fallen and I can't get up...... Good thing this keyboard has a stretchy cord.

Welcome to the digital age my friend...! I think you said that wrong. I think you had fallen a long time ago, and you've only just now gotten up! Welcome to The Mustang Works!

Robert:

Well, you're hooked now (just like the rest of us) so you may as well enjoy it, which I know you will when you're at Mustang Works.

Although I had used computers at work for a few years before buying my own, I really can sympathize, because when I went online (early '97) I went through the same thing:
Had to get an extra phone line installed within a month because no one could reach us as I was always online and tying up the phone. My wife was also both frustrated and suspicious in turn, but finally got into it a bit herself and also realized that the net and specifically, Mustang Works Online was a reasonable hobby (and I'm home a lot more).
I also learned to try to not use all my free time online (it's not always easy) and remembered to give my wife some attention even when I'm online (you can take a 5 minute break to chat with her and go right back). Don't act 'bothered' if she wants to talk to you when you're online...wives hate that, as I found out! You'll learn.
I'm also a two finger typist but I can type up to 30 wpm, which is enough if you're not a data processor, secretary or a programmer.
Us two-finger folks usually make very few errors, so it kind of comes out even.

I guarantee you'll learn a lot here;
Check out all the features and forums as things can change quickly.
Pass on the good word about the site and feel free to contribute as often as possible with questions or answers, but remember, thousands of Mustang owners will see your posts so try to always be accurate with answers and don't be afraid to ask for help for yourself, or just add a race story to the Street Racers Corner forum or a comment about something not even Mustang-related in the Blue Oval Lounge forum. There's plenty to choose from and to read and enjoy on this website.
Dan designed it for folks like us, that own, drive and love Mustangs and want to make ours as good as we can and learn as well as share what we know with others. It's all here.

Welcome to Mustang Works Online!

lol, 2 finger typists are funny. i procrastinated and didn't take my keyboarding proficiency test in the first 3 years i had a chance. now the new district rule is that seniors can't take the test--they have to take the class! so i'm in there clicking off 95-110wpm(i've had my own computer since i was in third grade) @ less than 1 error per minute scaring the people around me, and yes, that is using all 10 fingers too my 4 finger skill is around 125wpm, but with more errors. the teacher thinks i'm some sort of freak.

OH Yeah, well how fast can you change your spark plugs??? [ with all ten fingers , of course ] My wife does that thing, you know, typing like a jillion words a minute without looking at the screen. I get nervous just watching!!!!

[Rebel79]

NO offense, but nothing is more funny than to watch a two-fingered typist. By ex-boss could only type 15wpm with is two fingers so we played a BIG prank on him. One night we re-arranged ALL of the keys on his keyboard and he could not figure out why his words were coming out all garbled!

I two was a two-fingered typist but now have 10 years of experience behind my back. I am proud to say that I have a 127wpm rate, but I still have to look at the screen. My mom can look at me and have a conversation with me, while typing 120wpm! Thats like, DAMN!

Wish I could type as fast as you, Rebel. Yes, RobertLunner, you are normal. I became just as addicted as you are. So much info on this site plus the ability to exchange ideas and opinions with other stangers makes it that much more fun and addicting.
