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

Well first, thanks for bringing up an interesting topic. But I had
trouble sifting through your web site so here are some convenient
links for our readers on the subject:

I had looked at the Maltron before, but at the time it was expensive
and not available in the U.S. (except as an import). I wasn't sure if
I would like it or how easy it would be to return if I didn't. ... It
appears that much has not changed.

I'm not as negative as you are on the Dvorak layout. It substantially
reduces finger motion, takes advantage of "drumming" and reduces
strain. That's all great stuff!

Yes, Mr. Dvorak fell short of changing the physical keyboard. He still
made a nice contribution, as did Kroemer.

In your own words, the Maltrons are "damn expensive" and possible not
available in the U.S. And it sounds like you haven't tried one yet
(neither have I). So doesn't it make sense to recommend
TypeMatrix/Dvorak and Kinesis/Dvorak in the mean time?
