In less than 8 hours and only 10 5 minute sessions a person I know who types very fast qwerty was able to achieve exactly 50% of his Qwerty speed using a Dvorak Keyboard. I have the Times and test document somewhere in my old file archives. I wrote the test file and admit it was heavy on the popular (english) characters. My friend was amazed that a touch typist learns how to touch type and not specifically a set pattern of "which-finger-goes-where". Dvorak is awesome. The Apple IIc had a Drorak trace line you could cut someone told me, enabling a dvorak layout. The guiness book of world records lists the worlds fastest typists... I believe the reigning champ over the years used a Dvorak. Speed, Speed, speed. Bill Williams
