What's a decent typing speed?

I was just wondering what people generally considered as a good for typing. Basically, what you feel isn't horrible, but isn't insanely fast. A nice casual pace at which to type up a something, ya know? I personally feel 90 wpm isn't too bad.
I think 45-55 is pretty good. A speed of 60-70 can enable you to become a legal secretary.

I think 50-60 wpm is pretty good although I've heard in the past some other numbers. I think like maybe 30-40 wpm is good on the numeric keypad but I haven't heard too much on that. But I really think a really decent typing speed for most anyone might be around 60-120 wpm or 1-2 words per second and maybe like 40-60 wpm on the numeric keypad.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool. I didn't know that.

Actually, tying speed on the numeric keypad is calculated in keywords per minute. 8000 - 10,000 kpm is pretty good.
