I didn't see that, perhaps because I myself was posting as it was posted. Bloody good answer normalcyispasse! 
I'd be interested to know how easy it would be to retrain oneself to use dvorak after years of touch typing with qwerty - anyone had any experience of this? |
Once you've learned it it's not that much fun to go back to Qwerty so actually the opposite is the case. Your fingers get used to getting a lot more work done without having to move half as much as they used to. Right from the start when you first type the words 'the' (same position as Qwerty kjd) and 'that' (Qwerty kjak) in a smooth motion from right to left you know you're going to get hooked.
(there's a left-handed dvorak layout as well) |
Oh, Mithy. Now you've got me lusting after one of those dvoraks like a Korean tourist for his kimchi! I must get my hands on one, on of these days. |
You can try it right now - go to language settings, add keyboard, select Dvorak, now you have Dvorak. Just as easy to switch on macs as well apparently. You just have to learn to touch-type, which is better anyway. I don't have any keyboards that actually have Dvorak keys.
And if you want to try it out now just go here:

Thank you Mithy, I'll give that a try sometime soon. I'm already salivating at the thought!  |
