Learning to touch-type in the 70's (as a kid) means I can still totally freak people at work out by having a conversation with them whilst totally ignoring what I type. Still I'm nowhere near as fast with a query as I used to be with this:

I sort of do that
although I seem to have a typing buffer - which I can empty while talking to someone, but can't refill. So after 30 seconds or so I run out of things I was going to type and have to either stop typing and go fully over to conversation, or stop talking and go back to what I was doing.

Drives the missus crazy when she's talking to me and I'm running through chords and scales on the guitar
She doesn't understand: that is how musicians always converse! We cannot do it without farting about on our instrument!
