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.
