Learning to type

To type I only use my two index fingers. I tried an online typing test ([url=http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english]here[/url]), and managed to exceed 60wpm in each of my attempts, but doing so required very intense effort which I could never maintain. I am sure some of you will be able to hit 100wpm, meaning a rate like 60wpm would be stress free and practical for everyday use. Learning to type properly seems like a skill I really should have, in this increasingly computer and productivity focused world. I'm looking for suggestions on how best to learn.

    This reminds me of the old typing programs on Macs in the early 90's.... I just played Oregon Trail. Mario taught me back then. I'm kind of in the "just do it" line of thinking. I do not position my fingers correctly, but can easily type over 80 wpm according to that test. I'm to the point where I don't think I could learn to do it correctly anymore since I've been doing this way for as long as I can remember. Seriously, I think writing some of the papers in college and wherever else helped me the most.
