Remember working at a big law firm back in the mid 90s. All the legal secretaries wanted the IBM keyboards that were loud. Just to show off how fast they could type.
They did monthly contests just to see who was the the winner. 150+wpm wast their speed in any type of legal documents that were apart of test. Wills or articles of incorporation were atypical pieces that needed to be typed in the contest. The intellectual property people would never let their stuff out for a contest.
