Dvorak? as in the musician? These letters fall in where the “QWERTY” do on my keyboard? Interesting coincidence!

I just wanna say how inconvenient it is for one to switch interfaces (Input devices: keyboards, keypads and mice … And output devices: monitor and … just that! Dunno what else!). I don’t wanna have to get used to using stuff when I was doing fine with an older setting! So annoying!

What puzzles me most is how people manage to use those miniature keyboards! I like ‘em big and spacious! I’m using a 10-years-old MS Natural Keyboard (the one with the keys split into two sections by a seperator that has the LEDs) And boy isn’t the largest I’ve seen!

Intresting information… it is intresting to know too that the first email to be sent ever back in October 1971 had the following text : “QWERT”

It was sent by Ray Tomlinson, i guess he was so bussy to write “Test” or “Hello World” :) so he just pressed on the first 4 or 5 key’s :)

My hubby uses the Dvorak keyboard, and is really fast on it. We have to switch each time.

Actually the Arabic keyboard is mainly identified with the كمنت شسيب row which
is the middl row not the upper one.
