Dvorak always intrigued me, but i've never been bothered to make the change.

Wow. I'm gonna learn Dvorak as soon as I get home - and that's soon! July 29!

Oh, and BTW, Dvorak was of Czech origin - like me

. What dissapoints me is the fact that a Dvorak Keyboard Layout is not available in Czech. Or at least not as elaborate.

The QWERTY layout was designed specifically to slow typists down. It's ended up becoming a standard by pretty much by accident.

Read the history of Dvorak and QUERTY and you'll see.

Toadlife: Not really. You read. The Qwerty was designed by Sholes because of jamming Typewriters, but not to slow ppl down, just to separate common digraphs (th, ei, ie, ck, st etc.). The slow-'em-down thing is a myth. I begin to realise just how I hate this random keyboard layout...

I can't convert my keyboard to Dvorak, since it's a British one

Okay, yes it was designed to keep fast typists from jamming mechanical typewriters, but then end result was the same - it slowed people down. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.

What a rubbish excuse lol.
My keyboard is British.

I tried it without changing the keys around, was fine.

I decided to re-arrenge the keys, to dedicate myself.

You lose the pound sign. That's all :-)
Alt-codes anyone ;-)

How about keys like # and ` and '? They are different from US ones.

Well, no. It was changed even before there were any typists. The Remington, the first typewriter available to public already had the Qwerty. But I agree, it was not (by Sholes) intended to be a final solution, just temporary. And there is no reason to be using the Qwerty, whatsoever. I have some trouble though, because there is no Czech version... and to think Dvorak was Czech!!!
