If you know about the Maltron - Promoting Dvorak could be a sin.

When you take a good look outside the box that is Qwerty you will find a stellar option that makes even Dvorak look pale by comparison.  It is the Maltron Keyboard which is both a physical keyboard and a letter layout.  All Dvorak did was use the Qwerty physical keyboard and put his lettering system on it.  Kroemer who is the inventor of the split keyboard discovered that by placing the keys in the staggered array that they are in today places undue strain upon the hands, especially the left hand which is forced to operate totally unnaturally.

Louise Maltron from England invented a total package over 40 years ago that makes it possible to type almost as fast as one can think, thus making direct thought patterns available in real time. For those who do not yet have a Dvorak urging them to switch to one would make you as guilty as was Sholes, who did not do what he did out of malice but necessity.  He had to make the mechanism work and to do so he fiddled with the language.

Now that we have this knowledge to ask anyone to use either Qwerty or Dvorak is a sin.  Neither is as effective as a Maltron and the only reason I've not switched yet because they are so damned expensive.  I did find one company making them in the US called Ergo-comp but they have suspended production at least the last time I checked.  I am going to check again in a couple of minutes and will report back if I find they are back in production.  

In the meantime visit my site http://lightoftheworld.com for more information the secondary video box contains a short video I found on Youtube.  It is the third video and it will take you about less than ten minutes to get to.  There is also a direct link to their site which has very valuable information on repetitive stress injury and how the Maltron is the only layout that can cure it.   

P.S.  By the way, the Kinesis which I've written about extensively is only a knock-off of the Maltron.
