Dvorak

I always remember hearing about alternate keyboard layouts and a recent discussion on the Godbit Forum about ergonomics led to the use of the Dvorak simplified keyboard layout which interested me.  So I switched my layout and printed out a set of keys to tape onto my laptop so I can begin to learn it.  So far it’s been very slow (I’m 10 minutes into this post already!), but I’m finding the letter placements intuitive.  I suppose I’m just used to QWERTY now, so I feel like I’m back in 4th grade learning to type again.  Chances are I’ll get tired of this and switch back, but at least it’s something I can say I tried.

(It took about 30 minutes to write all of this!)

Dude, lol, I dont have to look anymore, but my hands are always in the wrong place, so I need to learn to type better, but not with that layout
