Secreteries typically type 200-300wpm as is, for most that have been in the
business for a while...  Typically on a word processor that allows them to type
without printing, then when done, press a key and shoot out a page, while they
proof-read it.... I do about 65wpm myself.  As far as the dvorak layout, I've
seen it, and would need new training and new keyboard layouts, then as you
said, when I go to work and use their computer would be making mistakes out the
yen-yang!
