Thought I'd start this forum's first poll. Mine is definitely PRES. Once I'm in the zone, my fingers just go flying!

PARS is my favorite, although it took a few years for me to fully appreciate it. After 20+ years of keying, I like the way each PARS desk gets your hands moving a little differently. Seems better for me ergonomically.

I like to key COA, because it's the most like normal typing if that makes sense? Keying out full names is easiest for my brain to zone out on.

PARS I definitely need time to fully appreciate... it's my slowest system.
I'm good at Receiver Combined because it's fairly simple to see if a zip code or spray is there or not.
Sender Combined gives me a tiny bit of trouble because you don't know where they're going to put the return address on what you're looking at or if it's even on that side of the mail piece. Sometimes there's multiple addresses or event addresses too. :S
Mail Class terminates after one click so I tend to be extra critical with making sure I know what I'm pressing.
Short Name is the ABSOLUTE worst because choosing from a dialogue box is the hardest thing for me to do and there are like 100 subtle rules to remember for both interception and carrier confirmed... and I do have them all memorized, but I still have to run each one through my head and check each option with what's on the mail for each one. Takes forever!
Name + Number I started out slow in because keying the first 4 letters instead of 3 threw me off every time. I would sit there with 3 letters and think... WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?! Finally got the hang of it and I think it's my fastest one now.
That leaves endorsement... and what's the other one? I haven't learned those yet.
I also haven't been trained in COA yet but I'm kind of looking forward to that one because it seems the most involved out of all the systems. I'm good at keying out full words, but I have all the C-Bit rules memorized so well that I can zone out just as easily keying the shortcuts. It's when dialogue boxes pop up that throw off my groove. Haha.
