Thanks. I think I'll give it a go. I'll also see how the kids in my class go with it. They will probably learn it faster than qwerty. And faster than me for sure. -Krsnendu <div>On 13/06/06, Onatawahtaw <<a href="mailto:onatawahtaw@yahoo.ca">onatawahtaw@yahoo.ca</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi Krsnendu, If you have learned QWERTY already, your fingers know how to type, so you should pick up speed in know time. The first two weeks will be hard, but if you commit those two weeks, it should be smooth sailing after that. Some say Dvorak will make you faster, this is not necessarily true, but it will take a lot of strain off your fingers. My fingers used to cramp up sometimes in QWERTY, since I switched to Dvorak I no longer have that problem. After you start using Dvorak, you will probably still use QWERTY from time to time, so your fingers won't have the opportunity to forget it. Of course, if you stay away from QWERTY for a long period of time, it might take a couple of minutes to reajust, but your fingers still remember. :) Hope this helps answer your last couple questions at least, -Kevin --- Krsnendu Dasa <<a href="mailto:krsnendu108@gmail.com"> krsnendu108@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > I am interested in using the Dvorak keyboard.
