I second that - Dvorak is a much nicer layout but you may wish
to leave the key caps where they are if you hop around from system
to system.  That way you can run a program like xdvorak to temporarily
change the layout on the machine you are using - and get along just fine.
It also forces you to learn the keys by touch not labels.

My biggest complaint is that NeXT hardwired how the cap lock works - 
its great for qwerty - but a few dvorak keys cant be locked in all caps,
so you have to hit the shift key even though cap lock is set.
But its just a few keys and who types in all caps much?
still it shows that the customization cant be complete due to qwerty centricity.
