Re: New to the list

Welcome, Keith

My web site at http://www.typingbytouch.com has some useful stuff
about learning to type in both Dvorak and QWERTY. You can download for
free from there my typing tutorial (for Windows, not Mac or Linux). It
will help you to learn and get up speed.

I've been using Dvorak myself for over 10 years. It has certainly
improved my speed (somewhat) and my accuracy (more so). And I type
more comfortably with no strain that I am aware of. Currently I am
writing about 15,000 words a week, much of it for my blog, which also
deals with Dvorak from time to time. This link takes you direct to
anything in the typing category. http://www.xcitybob.com/?cat=12
