<p>It's so freakin' awkward, but I'm learning to use it for bragging rights.</p>
<p>I CANNOT get used to where the punctuation is, and I'm making so many spelling errors that in MSWord, if I don't correct anything, half the page is underlined in red. A couple of letters are being an utter nuisance (more than most) to remember, too - freakin' R's!</p>
<p>...Yeah, I know I'm geeky. :p</p>
<p>My plain old qwerty works fine for me. Geek bragging rights :p</p>
<p>I've been QWERTYing for as long as I remember, and I'm not about to go through the pain of learning a keyboard setup that nobody in the outside world really uses!</p>
<p>Back under OS 9 (I'm a life-long Mac user) I would use dvorak a lot. The OS had this handy little thing that sat up by the clock that let me switch between dvorak and qwerty on the fly, so I would use qwerty for writing papers and stuff, and dvorak when I was doing stuff that didn't really matter (IMing, surfing, etc). I actually got pretty good with it and it was much faster to type on, but it took a while to get used to.</p>
<p>Unfortunately OS X doesn't seem to have this feature, so I've been using strait qwerty since I upgraded.</p>
<p>So, is it really more efficient when one is adept at it?</p>
<p>It sure feels clunky now...</p>
<p>HelloKiki: OS X still has this feature. try googling it.</p>
<p>I wasn't a good qwerty typist at the time, so I got to where I could go about the same speed in both. I don't know how it would be now as I haven't used it in a few years and have become MUCH better at qwerty. I had so much more free time to learn random stuff like that in HS. That's probably why I haven't found how to do it in X. ;)</p>
<p>I'm a fairly good QWERTY typer. I can even type really fast with one hand, though I'm slower with my left that I am with my right. I might try dvorak at somepoint, but for now, I'll stick with my qwerty.</p>
<p>Mathson uses Dvorak. When he borrows my laptop I always end up having to set it back to Querty.</p>
