Re: Re: New dvorak user!

Paul,

You gave me an idea.

When people take typing tests, they type at their maximum speed. We
never test average speed. I wonder if using Dvorak allows you to type
more over a long period of time than typing in QWERTY would allow. I
think Dvorak provides endurance more than mere maximum speed.
