	   Does anyone reading this use a Dvorak style keyboard?  

Yes, me.

   If so, where did you get it?  

Over the net.  I use X11, and there is a program called "xdvorak" that
rebinds the keys.  I never bothered to move the physical keys, so
hunt-and-peck typing is no longer an option for me.  Here are some
places that archie says the program is available from.

   Do you feel that it is a great help to you?

Not particularly.

When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don't deal drugs.
When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I'm innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don't own a gun.
Now they've come for the first amendment, and I can't say anything at all.
