What keyboard I have makes an enormous difference.  The old Apple Extended Keyboard II, for instance, I could top out 120-130wpm.  My current one is closer to 60-80 - a very good (used) one with key switches in it(retails for about $120-$140 new).  Crappy ones like the new Apple "chicklet/Atari 400" keyboard or a crummy membrane/soft touch keyboard... maybe 30-35wpm.

Oh - I never learned to touch-type.  I do hunt-and-peck.  Just with all ten fingers at once. :)
