Indeed. I used to a be a 70+ wpm qwerty typist, until I decided to switch to Dvorak this past January. After eight months, I mostly have my speed back, but now whenever I'm forced to use qwerty, I have to resort to hunt-and-peck. At any rate, Dvorak is much more comfortable, and I'm happy I made the switch -- I just don't see how anyone could ever manage to keep track of both keyboard layouts in their head.
