I don't think I'd say "no one;" apparently we're all different.

I used to play Classical Guitar (before a hand injury...) and was 
amazed that I simply never could get the hang of talking while I 
played; singing was absolutely out of the question. But thousands of 
people do it routinely.

My wife can carry a normal conversation while typing 100+ WPM (really) 
and I can't even answer a yes-no question without stopping...I type 
about 60 WPM.

Apparently some people are dangerous while talking on a cell phone 
while driving but I have absolutely no problem with it. It seems to me 
like talking to someone in the other seat---doesn't bother me at all. I 
haven't done much CW mobile, but what I have was no problem. I can also 
drink a cup of coffee while driving without problem. Just don't expect 
me to sing and play the guitar...
