Actually it is a very good layout. You can type something like 70 percent of
all common words without moving your hands off the home row. The next most
common letters are on the row above the home row. The bottom row, which is
the hardest to reach, is where all the least used letters are.
From your comment it sounds like you type like I used too. I could never
quite learn the qwerty board. I used what I called the "scriptural" method
of typing... "Seek and ye shall find". After typing for years that way I
switched to dvorak. Within two weeks I learned the dvorak board completely
and have never looked back. Give it a chance. I don't think you'll regret
it.
How do these post get SO far off topic??????

Nah, since windoze 3.0, support for remapping your keyboard has been
built into the operating system and isn't it about 95% of computers
nowadays that are running some flavor of windoze? Look at "keyboard"
setting in control panel then "input locales" then "change" then "add"
then find Dvorak. Takes all of about 20 seconds to set up.
