No, I can type 80-100 wpm and don't feel like rewiring my brain for no reason.

its faster after you get used to it. easier 1-handed typing, too

Yeah, I've read somewhere that typewritters were changed to QWERTY because the DVORAK would type too fast and the machine would jam.

Symphony No. 9 is perhaps his most recognizable to most, but I am partial to his String Quartet in F.

No idea what the hell else you are speaking of.

I knew a hot girl once whose last name was Dvorak.

QWERTY keyboards are the standard, for those that don't know. Look at the top row of keys starting from the left, and you'll see the Q, W, E, R, T, Y keys starting there, hence the name.

Here be-ith a DVORAK layout:



It's not called Dvorak cause there's a line of keys spelling out DVORAK, it's named after the guy that invented it. Personally, I don't care about em. I can touch type fast as fuck on a standard keyboard due to muscle memory, I have no interest in learning how to type again.

Cool office prank would be to get a Dvorak keyboard, pop all the keys out, and rearrange them in QWERTY configuration, and switch some schmuck's keyboard with the fake, and watch them go apeshit trying to figure out why their typing commands are coming out wrong.

I'd rather have the DVORAK layout on a cellphone/PDA (my girlfriend wants it on her Sidekick lol), its REALLY easy to do one handed typing with, but I am not comfortable with it as I am with QWERTY..

or, on a windows box, just change the keyboard layout to dvorak. or chinese. much more hilarity and less popping off of keys.

type on another keyboard, what else? multitasking ftw.
