Re: Hardwired Dvorak keyboards

My Kinensis keyboard (that I own) has lived in an open office for 
about 9 years with absolutely no problems.  I do get a steady stream 
of "What is that?" questions when people see it for the first time. 
I've also been recognised when going into meetings with new people as 
"You're the guy with that weird keyboard aren't you?".  This has been 
across 3 different companies in 2 countries and it's still going 
strong.
