Re: Anybody here fluent in both Dvorak & QWERTY?

I tried Dvorak for a few months, around 1996. Using QWERTY I have
timed myself at 60-90 wpm.  Using the Dvorak layout, I never made it
past 30 or 35.  Then I started working at a customer's office, where I
didn't feel that I should change things. Finally, I was making too
many mistakes and felt like I was wasting too much time trying to
adjust back and forth.

I want to keep up with what's available -- not only different layouts
but different physical keyboards.  That's why I read 'altkeyboards'.
But this post summarizes why the Dvorak layout doesn't work for me:
