I've never felt compelled to purchase a "real" : dvorak keyboard. I don't really see why you would need one. If you : touch type, you don't need the letters on the keycaps anyway. 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. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
