Advocating Dvorak

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-not-the-columnist-who-thinks-i'm-his-nemesis dept.

zeroweb writes "A group of three faithful Dvorak promoters have launched new website at DvZine.org. The big thing here is a Comic (available in print, pdf and html) describing the history of QWERTY and Dvorak, how and why one should make the switch, and real-life stories of the converted. If you are thinking about making the switch, this could push you over the edge. My favorite line: "It could be the difference between working in your garden at 70 or wearing wrist braces at 40." As someone who started wearing wrist braces at 23, I couldn't agree more - I read this comic, changed my keyboard layout and have been happier ever since."

    Serviously, if you want people to use a method or product, give them a name they can pronounce. At least you can say QWERTY. Dvorak, how the heck do you say that if you're not from Russia?
