Ah, but you don't touch type 'till you learn to use the keyboard.....

Does anyone know someone that could supply a dvorak keyboard ?  I remember
seeing one on a tv program years ago - it looked slightly like a microslop
keyboard in that there were two "clusters" of keys - I'd be surprised if
they were shaped like a regular qwerty...

Please, if anyone knows where I can get one, tell me - I'd rather 100
answers than none :-\

Thanks.
