I've always had an interest in Dvorak keyboards. I am intent on working on it in the next few weeks. However, the learning process is slow and my work just won't wait. I suspect that that is the main reason that Qwerty is the de facto standard: I know of no school that teachs anything but querty, nor have I ever even seen anything but Qwerty keyboards! That makes some things tough, such as control, command, alternate, etc. commands which most people (I believe) still type in a hunt and peck fashion in which seeing the letter printed on the key is a Big help. Also, some of the modified-key combination commands are layed out in a very convenient format (i.e. apple's cut, copy, paste: x,c,v and many find, find again, replace & find again commands: f,g,h). Nonetheless, I'm going to convert just as soon I can (get the hang of it). IMHO, Scarecrow.com sounds a lot classier than boba.com; it gets my vote.
