QWERTY vs DVORAK
What say you?

Would you learn DVORAK just for a lil challenge?

Check this article out:

Dvorak Users Oppose Qwerty Layouts on Smart Phones, iPhones - WSJ.com


I wonder if there is an online tutorial I can use if I switch from Qwerty to Dvorak within windows to give it a try.

This here should answer your question. I got it from that article you posted. Guess you didn't read it or yuh wouldna ask dis question :P

During the 1980s, Microsoft Corp.'s Windows users were able to use third-party programs to get it. In the early 1990s, Dvorak became a standard setting included in the operating system.

Now, every new Windows or Apple Inc. computer comes with a Dvorak setting.

Users don't need a special keyboard; they can just change the setting on their computer. When this is done, the keys no longer match up with what is typed. People could switch the keys to match up with what they type, but many Dvorak users don't bother, since they type from memory.

Hello,

I take it you did not read what I said carefully or I did not phrase it right.

I want a program like Mavis Beacon teaches typing or kinda similar to learn the Dvorak.
