Re: Natural keyboard vs 'standard' layout. Easiest for Dvorak?

Hand shape is probably as variable as any other human characteristic,  
if not more so. I hope the market never settles on a single keyboard  
shape, because no one shape can be ideal for everyone.

I've been looking thoughtfully at the Kinesis Freestyle models--lots  
of adjustability there. But for me a flat keyboard still seems best,  
and I already have one.
Cheers,
Marcus
