this is probably an incredibly stupid idea, but i'm thinking of trying to use a dvorak keyboard layout. has anyone tried that? anyone using one right now?
I use dvorak. It took a week or two of default dvorak usage for me to get comfortable with it. I no longer resolve to qwerty.. unless it is a friend's computer.
For practice, I recommend http://gigliwood.com/abcd/abcd.html
nearfar - I spent some time today playing with a Kinesis keyboard; and figured I'd also try switching to dvorak. a) I got a ridiculous headache from trying b) I found that using emacs with dvorak was just way to difficult because many of the keystrokes are muscle memory at this point.

Do you think it's really worth the switch?
I can see you are now in college mode ;)
