I'm happy how i am, wit good ol QWERTY.

I learnt touch typing on it, but never use it. I can type 80-85 wpm with it. Why would i want to change? Too confusing.

Ahh the forces of conservatism in one so young!

I agree entirely.

Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!

I never learned how to type correctly... I can type plenty fast, but only on a regular QWERTY keyboard, with the backslash above the enter key.

On Dvorak, I'd be back to picking at the keyboard. As it is, I can barely manage on one of those "ergonomic" keyboards...

Although many people (including myself) achieve much higher speeds in Dvorak, a few have complained that they still can't type much faster after switching, especially fast QWERTY typists (perhaps 60 or more WPM).

Another reason i don't want to change. Come on, why wait a month to type slower than i can already on a weird keyboard? (though being a curious sort of a person, i was almost tempted to try it, to see if i could de-code what mrbiggs said...)

I'll give you my parents' credit card number and expiration date if you can decode what that says.
