Why Dvorak? I mean, can you find those keyboards anywhere?
Posted by Marko at September 20, 2003 05:29 AMDvorak keyboards come with ALL operating systems. It's just a drop down menu on the Macs. A slightly more complicated hoop to jump through on Windows, but somebody showed it to me yesterday. It is there.
Posted by Joe at September 20, 2003 10:22 AMYes, but the layouts on the keyboards are QWERTY, so unless you carry some sort of overlay with the Dvorak keys to put on the QWERTY keyboard, it would be a bit more complicated to use it.
Posted by Marko at September 20, 2003 07:36 PMNo, no, no Marko. When I type on a QWERTY keyboard (and unfortunately I am a fast QWERTY-man) I NEVER look at the keyboard. In fact, looking at the keyboard confuses me and slows me down. The boys will never look at the keyboard whatever they learn. I figure the more efficient Dvorak will be better for them in the long-term, but I am facing resistance ...
