“Bruce_Daddy” - Since it’s my hotmail account as well as many others. Try it with the capitalization and the underscore. It looks cool to type!
My Universal Password - I’m obviously not going to tell you, but it’s a non-sense word and a number, something like “moonbox4216”
“.com” - We can all probably type that nearly instantaneously.
“Dim <variable> as” VB and Lotus script.
"boa<tab><enter> - For the “type-ahead” feature in my browser to get to the SDMB!
<ctrl><alt><delete><click> I lock my computer everytime I walk away from it and I have windows place the mouse pointer on the default button.
What about you?

The cheat code to get more ammo in GTA:Vice City. Every time you type it, you get a little bit more, so you have to type it several times.
Also, bx2a5z, which is the hostname of my email address.
And a few passwords which look something like “b8z2jja4zx6y7NwR.” Those take a while, both to remember and to type at first, but after a while, I type them faster than normal words.
winston-salem
I type it so many times a day that now I just kind of drop my hands on the keyboard, and “winston-salem” comes out. (Or “winstno-slaem”, sometimes.)
I’ve been troubleshooting computers since the days of DOS 3.2 and everything was fixed back then by typing at the DOS prompt. I can still bang out “edit autoexec.bat” and “edit config.sys” without thinking. Also “cd windows”, “cd\windows\system”, “edit system.ini” and “edit win.ini” after Windows 3.1 became the standard office GUI.
Many times I use keyboard shortcuts rather than minimizing all the windows to get to the desktop or navigating the start menu, so I’ll hit “Ctrl+Esc r” to get the Run dialog box and then type “winword”, “excel”, “calc”, “notepad”, “charmap”, or “cmd”.
I always type it too fast and get .ocm or .cmo or something. I need to get myself a browser that replaces these with .com automatically.
(And yet, if you type gooogle.com by accident, and it hasn’t been registered, doesn’t try gooogle.com.org, gooogle.com.net, etc, or search for it but lets you f’ing edit what you typed.)
I wasn’t trying to brag, it’s just that I haven’t been tested for several years and I had no clue I was that fast. And I’m rather pleased with myself about it.
