Re: Re: Keyboards with keycaps which are the same shape

Mea Culpa! I "thought" I was buying a hardwired DVORAK keyboard at http://www.typocheck.co.uk/dvorak/buy.html  But no ... it is only labeled as such. Oh well ... I have it now. Still unwrapped. There was a misunderstanding. But that's okay, because when this one goes out - I'll have an already correctly labeled keyboard. I still use my two-labeled keyboard at the PC because sometimes friends come over and I switch back for their sakes. I'm sorry for misinforming you all and hopefully no one made the purchase before realizing it was not hardwired.

Sincerely,

Michael

 thanks for the endorsement! - although I suspect that you weren't 
 aware that you were doing so. I'm glad that my efforts have provided 
 you with a keyboard to your liking :)
 
 Incidentally I've found a USB-PS/2 adaptor that works with these 
 keyboards, so if you were to find office work and they were "Dvorak-
 unaware", you could maybe convince your new employers to buy an 
 additional keyboard and have both plugged in at the same time.
 
 ... although of course if you touch-type, then that's less of an 
 issue since it doesn't matter how the keys are labelled, of course. 
 Except that having a non-QWERTY layout in front of you is a useful 
 conversation piece :)

 lot of good input. My old Dvorak had gone on the fritz. You 
 apparently DID find them. So I took your three keyboards and did a 
 Google search (up to this point in time I have been using XP's 
 software configuration) and I purchased the one at: 
 http://www.typocheck.co.uk/dvorak/buy.html  This is great! Just what 
 I had been looking for a year ago. I've been typing DVORAK for ten 
 years now. Totally forgotten Qwerty. Too bad for me if I find work 
 where I need to use their PC. These years I'm homebound taking care 
 of my Alzheimered  father.
