    So far, I've been typing on Colemak for about 2 weeks now. I used do be about 70-80wpm with qwerty. Now I'm about 40wpm with Colemak. I took some of the lessons but ended up just going semi cold turkey. I really like the layout, it just makes so much more sense.

    One thing is my accuracy could use some improving. I'm at about 90%. I hope to improve it in the future. I showed a few of my friends and they are going to give it a try. The number of Colemak user just keeps growing!!

    I'm glad you're enjoying it.  I have, too.  I've been using it for a couple years now, and have gotten to a decent speed, probably in the 80wpm range.  That's fast enough for what I need to type.

    My main problem now is remembering to turn it off when my IT guys have to work on my computer.  They invariably think they are going nuts when they start typing :)

    Speed just keeps going up and up. Around 50wpm now!

    Definitely. I haven't found typing this 'fun' in a very long time!

    Update at 70wpm already! I'm honestly amazed at the progress of just the past two weeks. I started learning on Dec. 5th.
