Q.  How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
A.  PRACTICE... PRACTICE... PRACTICE... AND MORE PRACTICE...

   How do I get my speed up to 60 wpm?

   Same answer, but you might want to try having you confuser
send you a page of text over and over at increasingly faster
speeds until you start missing characters, then send new text
at that speed, when when you are getting most of it, up the
speed a notch.  You only stretch when you are copying cw too
fast for you.

                              an unwanted side effect.
