Dvorak keyboards

So, I have made one more ergo tweak:

I have begun typing on a Dvorak keyboard.

It's weird. But, it offers much more balance between left and right hands as well as much less hand motion in general (think like 50% less).

But, bah, muscle memory is hard to override!

(This post took four minutes to type.)

Comments:
To have made it more fun to learn, they should have arranged the numerals randomly.

I find the keyboard on my laptop very gentle on the hands - you done good when you picked it. The keys are sort of cushioned and you can use an easy touch (but never a slow hand) when keyboarding.

A cheap allusion for you Pointer Sisters fans out there - you are out there, aren't you?

P.S. What is the purpose of reading and typing the goofy psychedlic letter arrays that this and other websites require to be inputted before submitting data? This one, xjmwt, is quite easy to read. Other websites (e.g. Google?) remind me of eye exams testing for colour blindness created by folks who tried LSD a few too many times when they require the user to do this. Does anybody out there know the answer to this question? And please don't tell me that I have stumbled upon one common feature of code writers' medical histories.

P.P.S. I can't believe this. Now they want me to read a second array of letters, 8 this time, and regurgitate them. I think my postings are being monitored. Oh my God . . .
