Re: New Standard Keyboards

I must agree--it's a bit hard to be open-minded about someone who claims any kind of alphabetical layout is "fast and efficient". (Notice the locations of "a", "e", and "i" especially--that looks like it would become painful after about five minutes.) Also, the "Typing made easy!" and "Learn to touch-type in 5 minutes" seem a bit strange...not to say that the image doesn't make the keyboard look terribly comfortable to type on. 

Still, it's an interesting idea--if only it would work.
