Strictly speaking, no, but if pressed I can type both my username and password with one hand tied behind my back.

When I was first learning to program, I spent a lot of time typing in hexdumps of programs into my C64 from an early computer mag... Byte, maybe, or even Dr Dobbs. I used my left hand to keep my place in the listing, and my right hand to key in each line of hex and the checksum for that line. (Anyone else remember this?)

Anyway, I got very good at typing with just my right hand, and I can still do it pretty well. (I'm really glad I learned proper touch typing in High School, though.)
