I'm curious, is the Dvorak layout really any better than QWERTY? It sounds great
in theory, but I don't know of anyone who can personally attest to that. Take a
look at these articles:

  http://home.earthlink.net/~dcrehr/whyqwert.html
  http://wwwpub.utdallas.edu/~liebowit/keys1.html

They seem to be of the opinion that the Dvorak layout isn't necessary, and is
perhaps even flawed. I've been thinking of trying Dvorak out for some time, but
these two articles have made me think again.
