I suppose someone should point out that this would only be a good idea
if you were a touch typist who never has to look at the keys. I sort
of fit that description, except that even after twelve years, I still
have trouble with the shifted number keys. I've never seen any
figures, but an awful lot of the computer-folk I know are hunt-and-
peck typists, and such an arrangement would be sheer torture for
them.
