Anyone using Dvorak over the standard QWERTY layout? Just curious. :)

Hell no.

You're one of those default guys huh? ;) ;D

qwerty here. then again, I'm one of those 1/2 method, 1/2 hunt and seek typists.

Ditto.

There is no way I could "un-learn" QWERTY or become as proficient. Thank you 9th grade business class!

Why would I adopt a 'standard', get used to it and then every other place I go struggle with the global standard?   ;)

It wouldn't be that hard. ;) :D

You can just make a script that remaps a QWERTY to Dvorak then run it off a flash drive when you're on other PC's. ;D

We're like separated at birth, only very different in a lot of other ways.

'Cuz that's convenient.   ::)

 ;) ;D

Yeppers it is. ;D

I'll bite. It probably wouldn't be that hard but.....

At this stage in the game it seems it would be a great waste of time. The "return on investment" just wouldn't be there. As far as learning new tricks, this is waaaay down the list.

So I take it you wouldn't want a Das Keyboard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Keyboard) either? ;D

If those keys were set up per QWERTY it would be no different to me from the one I use today so sure, I'd try one. I'm from the era where typing was taught in school. I learned "home row" and how to type with all 10 fingers.  ;D

There are some women in Blader's secretarial pool that I would put to shame.  [sm_shock]

I would love to install one of those at work for one of my guys. He types with 2 fingers. The index finger on his left hand only hits the a key. The index finger on his right hand does all the rest. He would be absolutely lost!

Fine, a Dvorak Das Keyboard. ;D That would be fun when people come over ... ;D

I believe that's why they're there.   [sm_naughty] [sm_hump]

 ;D

Now that is an interesting way to type. [sm_scratch]

I would be interested in trying this as I am not a good typer to begin with, problem I have is at my work I use up to 30 different computers every day. As they all have the standard and I can't change them I would have to be able to do both.

We already covered that. ;)

you can't use a flash drive on dummy terminals, VME computers, Robot terminals, laptops that are fully restricted to be dummy terminals, and computers without USB. And trying to get stuff like that to even work on the ones that I can would be a waste of time due to all the multiple logins by the multiple people....you get my point. At home is one thing but at a major corporation where the IT department has major restrictions, not so much.

How about off a CD? ;)

Movado.surrenders

I can't see spellcheck working working any less overtime for me on either keyboard.

No CDs on VME bus computers, Robot terminals, dummy terminals, laptops. And I wouldn't carry around one with me where I work. I know you don't understand my job and I am not about to try and explain it. I can't even do it off the network as everything is so restricted. Like I said home is one thing, work I have to use what is there, no alteration possible.

No floppy either then huh? ;) ;D

Now I understand how Aske feels sometimes.

It's a hard job, but someone has to do it. ;) ;D

Did someone say floppy? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Minnesnowta_Girl/Smileys/floppydisk.gif)

Nope. ;)

QWERTY for me.

Kev, if your gonna bother to remap my keyboard on me again, remap it to correspond to the Dvorak.  At least then I'll be learning something new at the same time.  Z=A, G=H, and so forth isn't very challenging, just a mite slower.

It was already on my "to do" list. [sm_thankyou] For me at least, I might sell you a copy though. ;)

Of course not. ::)

And it's only $80. 8) 

If anything, I should charge you for the time I would be spending testing that for you. :P :D

Yep, nice and cheap, so you won't mind buying it for me. ;D

Nope, I have other friends that like to be my beta testers. ;D

lol

I said "only" because I was expecting it to be more when I looked it up.  I'd consider going halves with you for it, however, that might have to wait until Mom and Dad are a bit more proficient in their typing skillz.  Can't you just hear them?  "Kevin!  Where's the ... ?" :D

I didn't say that I mind, just a forewarning next time would be nice. ::)
