What most people don't know about me is that I passed the test for entry into Mensa (certified genius). The comment I hear the most from people who read my book whether they agree about me or not is that they are going to switch from Qwerty to Dvorak. "Let people learn about Dv however they might, and let them adopt it if they wish. Dvorak's had long enough to catch-on, and it hasn't yet. I doubt its plight will be seriously redirected by any one person - whether their influence is perceived as positive or negative." He is correct. By myself I will have no effect. That is why I am coming to this group for help. I have started a forum of my own at http://YesWeCanDvorak.com currently there are two discussions going on. One for experienced Dvorakers and one for those who have just started. I am asking any and all members to post their Dvorak experience in the forum. Please share your story. How you found out about Dvorak, stories on the learning process, stories on incompatability, whatever you want to share especially concerns about me and my sanity. The story of how I became involved with Dvorak is shared on the about me page of http://YesWeCanDvorak.com Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday is on February 6th. I own http://RonaldReaganBirthday.com It is sure to be a highly searched term. I am seeking interviews and am already booked for one that day. The hook is that the shootings in Arizona have changed how I feel about breaking into Reagan's home. Timing is everything. --- In [email protected], Joey Mink <joeymink@...> wrote: > > Dvorak is a keyboard layout, and a person is a person.
