Ah, yes they had to hire her so they could rush that out the door in a relatively functional but unpolished state.

Rumour has it she tried to correct the capitalizations on all the functions, changing for example "GetTextExtentPointEx" to "Extended_get_text_extent_point" which caused major headaches for developers and ultimately resulting in her not having permissions to change existing code, only add to it. This was also partially responsible for the naming, as she would often exclaim "what about me" at developer meetings, yelling "Me" quite loudly, and the marketing department often ate lunch right outside that particular meeting room, so it stands to reason that while they were throwing their cafeteria food at the pidgeons and otherwise goofing off they heard her exclaim "Me" over and over again. At some point one of them decided to do some work to earn their 20K a year job and lo-and-behold it consisted entirely of simply finding an appropriate acronym for ME.

    On second try, I got 50 with 10 errors. I believe typing tutor software can be helpful to anyone seriously dedicated to improving their speed.  I can't vouch for any particular programs but might be something good at http://typingsoft.com/all_typing_tutors.htm

        31 with 3 error.  Never did learn how to type, I look at the keys when, I do.  But I know standard java commands, classes/methods and also classes/methods made by me by heart.  Wouldn't say i type fast during programming, though.  I just think ideas fast, but stop to think the actual code  ;D

        And thus ends a part of my auto-biography... ::)
