Dvorak, my two cents

[nathan at orstcs.UUCP]

Regardez, the Dvorak keyboard hack:

I wish to register a strenuous objection to scrambling the
number keys in any hack used to implement the Dvorak keyboard
remapping.

There is, in fact, an A (U. S.) American National Standard for
the Dvorak layout, and in that version the numeric keys are
(emphatically) NOT scrambled.  Typing is hard enough as it is,
why make it worse?

Incidentally, I learned to type Dvorak (ok, American Standard)
a couple of years back, and use it when I'm feeling lazy and not
in much hurry, as it is much less fatiguing but i'm still not very
fast on it.   Let me assure everyone that there is NO difficulty in
switching back and forth.
