It's best to do it when you have a few weeks when you absolutely won't be using QWERTY. > > 2) Once you've changed over, how hard is it if you have to use Qwerty > on someone else's computer?, On someone else's, not hard at all. On your own however is another story... I don't actually use a pure Dvorak keyboard - the home and upper rows are but I've reconfigured the bottom row and some of the non-letter characters to resemble the QWERTY layout more closely since they're used less and it's harder to remember their new locations. This has helped to preserve some of the common bottom-left keyboard shortcuts (with "Cut" bound to 'K' which is in the QWERTY 'C' location in KDE) and characters like the forward slash. I humbly call the layout "Davidian" :). Regards, -- David P James Ottawa, Ontario http://david.jamesnet.ca ICQ: #42891899, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Noone isn't no one
