Wow, Larry! You've switched completely? That's fascinating. You're the only one I know who's done that. Funny. I was just thinking that it's easier for a blind person to switch, because we're never going to be confused by those printed letters on the keyboard. That also means that all we need to switch is to load a different keymap. How's that for keeping other people's fingers off your keyboard? Hmmm, maybe there's some rationale here! <grin> Janina LARRY SKUTCHAN writes: > Dvorak is a great keyboard layout.
