I’m trying to learn the Dvorak Keyboard layout, you know the keyboard layout that is better in most ways to Qwerty!

My powerbook easily allows to change between Qwerty and Dvoark keyboard layouts which makes it easy to get work done in the meantime. I’ve found a nice website to start learning Dvorak – http://www.gigliwood.com/abcd/abcd.html

I’m up to lesson 8 and are straining to continue. I just want to type really fast! (I’m a 60wpm+ qwerty person at the moment) So it’s difficult, they also recommend that you don’t use Qwerty for a month when you first start out! I can guarantee that ain’t gonna happen, not with me having to jump on other peoples machines and fix this and that. Let alone trying to get any work done whilst learning a new keyboard layout.

Maybe, just maybe with a little bit of luck I’ll get there… here’s hoping!
