Okay sure, so the guy wrote this guide last week ... so what ;)
One of our newest staff members, fibbi, makes his presence felt by posting a rather peculiar guide. No, it's not related to leather or small plastic balls, but rather a guide about how to switch to the Dvorak Keyboard Layout.
Now, this Dvorak was probably some killjoy who had the brilliant idea of converting his hunt-and-peck typing system into an actual accepted layout (way to go, dude!). Or maybe he thought QWERTY was too fruity a word or somethin, but regardless, here is an excerpt of what fibbi has to say:
Dvorak was specifically designed back in the 30’s for comfort, speed and efficiency, but by that time QWERTY already had enough market share (as well the fact that they prevented jamming) to push Dvorak out of the picture. However, come the 90’s it was revived and put as an option even in the oldest personal computers.
For those select few who still use Dvorak, fibbi has written a guide on Switching to the Dvorak Keyboard Layout (http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17069), just for you (wow, an exclusive guide! Don't ya'll just feel special?) ...
