david?: i actually think it'll help me remember how to type on a standard keyboard. during the day i'll be typing as usual, at night i'll be using the new layout. given enough time, i should be able to type on either without any problem.

and no, i didn't get a new laptop.

mik3: I used dvorak for a while. I didn;t use it long enough to feel the effects. My friend still uses it tho. But he's lame, so he doesn't count.

Cramp: How the fuck are you suppose to type on that?

Cramp: Next question is, why would you use that kinda layout?

hippopothomas: i'm not sure of the reason it was invented, and i'm too lazy to google, but i assume it's to group more commonly typed letters together

Cramp: I see.

david?: joe is correct. the original qwerty keyboard layout was invented to keep typewriters from jamming (often). dvorak was created for speed. and apparently reduces RSI and CTS as well (although the wikipedia article needs citation for that) - http://bit.ly/bJ2cC5

Cramp: Now that you mention that, I do recall hearing that explanation before. So, do you type faster now?

Cramp: How exactly did you change the layout on your keyboard anyway?
