Hi, I was weaned on spreadsheets from the dos days.
I'm extremely keyboard oriented when using menus and options. It's a rarity for me to come across another User who operates as fast as I do (speed does not equal better though, as planning is more significant in my opinion). If I do find someone who operates as fast as me, I find they are also very keyboard oriented when using menus and choosing options. They touch the mouse as little as possible and only when absolutely necessary.
I tell anyone that's entering finance that the best thing they could do with regards to spreadsheets is to learn how not to use the mouse. You'll be a gadjillion times faster, allows you to crunch more numbers which is a significant advantage over your competition.
Recently though, I've met someone who might be just as fast, if not just a little bit faster than me overall and he uses a good combination of both. This person is definitely an anomoly, but I was just wondering how many anomolies are out there...
