Ahh, man, those Dvorak keyboards ROCK! Way back when, I couple years after I
learned to type (and will still learning, I guess) I wrote a typing video game
which taught the Qwerty keyboard... It was quick hack to modify it to teach
the Dvorak keyboard too, so I tried that out, and to my amazement, as I learned
both at the same time, I could switch back and forth "mentally" without getting
messed up...weird, but kinda like running Pine in one window and vi in the
other. But back in the old DOS3.2/3.3 days, there weren't installable keyboard
drivers for the OS, so you pretty much had to use Qwerty or find a real
physical Dvorak keyboard...and sadly I stopped learning it. (But I think I
could still type "that" now if I tried :-).
Hats off to Moz!

p.s. Ahh, it would sure be fun to have lugnet.off-topic.geek . . . But I
realize that I'm in the way-minority by wanting lots of weird groups... :)
