I need to type faster!

I need some tips on how to increase my typing speed. I was flabbergasted when my friend could do 110wpm flat. Right now, I get about 40wpm with no mistakes. I am using a standard multimedia keyboard that came with my gateway and I don't know the number keys or most of the symbols. I also learned to type with a cd that came out of my cereal box and a win95 version of mac beavis. Any way to up my wpm to places near the 100s?

Because in a player-killer MUD, it does depend on it.

Unless you end up on MUDs like Achaea, where people code really elaborate scripts to automate all healing, and often attack as well.
