:fu qwerty: (Dvorak keyboards)

I learned QWERTY originally, then tought myself DVORAK a few years later. It took a total of 3 hours to learn DVORAK and match my QWERTY typing speed, so it wasn't any big deal at all.

As far as using QWERTY goes, its about the same as it ever was, even though I rarely use it unless at a public computer. It sometimes takes me i minute or so to get back into using QWERTY, but after that I'm pretty good.

I've always wanted to learn the single-handed DVORAK layouts, though I've been too lazy so far. Basically, there's one layout for just the left hand, and one for just the right hand. They can be useful, for instance, if you want to be able to type and use the mouse at the same time. Or I guess also for typing on two computers at once, but who in the world would want to do that? Besides the terrorist in that Stephen Segal movie...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
