Ugh.

1. Why are you learning it?
2. What's the advantage? (Might answer this with question 1)

qwerty was made to slow down typing to avoid typewriter jams

Dvorak is for speed and comfort. its much better in almost all regards.

Holy forget, i want to learn this now!

How do i get one of these keyboards?

Regulith · August 01, 2009, 05:07:32 AM

I two-finger type anyway.

Digmaster · August 01, 2009, 05:07:58 AM

i just took the keys off mine and replaced them where I wanted.

then http://www.conversationexchange.com/resources/keyboard-language.php to US-Dvorak. its a pain to learn, but apparently well worth it.

Thats cool.

Sadly, i have a Razor back-lit keyboard.
So i can't move my keys around.

But, when i find my old keyboard, im going to convert it. And try Dvorak.

I'm sticking to my good 'ol qwerty.

It'll never catch on, ever. The idea of using it is just plain and simple bad, you'll go to use a keyboard away from home and you'll get forgeted over.

Don't be stupid.

Qwerty is fast enough if you use both hands,

ERROR: Out of sense

I sure hope you're kidding. My average typing speed on a QWERTY keyboard is 106 WPM, and that's without home row.
That keyboard just looks plain confusing. "Simplified?!" Bahahahahaha!

That's because you're used to QWERTY, plus you're too ignorant to notice.

Regulith · August 01, 2009, 05:38:35 AM

That's also because you have to learn how to use it first.
