  I realize this will only help a small  number of people, but if you
happen to have an Amiga, you can set it to dvorak with a single
command,
"setmap dvorak"

  The keycaps (at least on stock A2000/A3000 keyboards) can also be taken
off and moved around quite easily.

  You can design your own keymap if you're really insane :) dvorak
just happens to be one of the keymaps included with the OS.  The rest
are all qwerty layouts for various countries. (IE, keys for accented
letters)
