Anyone who types with the dvorak layout needs immediate removal from the gene pool.

*has bad memories of dvorak*

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Well, let's not let this thread go to waste:

Is there really any advantage DVORAK has over QWERTY, or vice versa?

I don't think there is any more to be honest, most of those formats were invented to cope with typewriters that had mechanical mechanisms.

QWERTY was developed for typewrite issues. Dvorak is supposed to be more ergonomic and also made for faster typing.

Even if QWERTY is a slower method I still type at 60-90wpm ...so how much faster is there a need to be :)

How is it more ergonomic?

I said "supposed to be."

It's what I've been told. If it's true, I guess it has something to do with the most commonly-used letters being more within reach or something.

I never understand how a Dvorak keyboard can possibly speed up the typing speed of somebody who has used the Qwerty keyboard for years.

I don't know either, but there are people who says it did that for them... I consider sometimes switching and seeing if it's nicer to type on, though. But I don't type normally on a regular keyboard. My fingers are kinda stubby and crooked so typing from the homerow is way too awakward. :P

QFT.  People will stick with what they're used to.  I've been meaning to switch to Dvorak for years, but I've never gotten around to taking the time to retrain myself.

Hippo has, however.  *calls Hippo*

i don't actively use it, but i know it enough to remember the layout and have a dvorak keyboard and qwerty combined for quick reference

problem being that i learned qwerty, and have a qwerty G15 keyboard, so by second nature if i forget where a letter is i tend to go with the qwerty location, and taping letters on a lite up keyboard is weird

I'd get a dvorak keyboard, but i now type with 8 fingers since my index fingers lost feeling from index finger crunching accidents. I was able to adapt on qwerty, i'd probably be really ****ed up on a dvorak.
