I can't say I've ever seen one or used one but I'd love to give one a try. Just looking at it, it seems impossible to adapt to it after using the Qwerty keyboards/pads for all the years I've been using a computer.

It actually looks pretty interesting, I'd love to give it a try. Now I understand when they say about the Dvorak keyboards whilst installing an OS.
At the top will be the same place you hang from.

Would be a good idea for netbooks imho.

I've never seen a reason to try them. I'm just fine on my computer. I've never used a netbook, so I dunno what 41Shots means. One time, I accidentally set my keyboard to Dvorak when using Kubuntu, but I switched it back. Learning the layout of a Swedish keyboard was hard enough, and the letters are all in the same place on those. I'd hate to have to learn an entirely new layout.

It's a good challenge for me to start learning that keyboard it would be difficult to get use to it...

It appears most say a 2 week usage period is enough to make you faster than QWERTY.
I am here to rescue you.

It seems like once you get used to it and adapt from QWERTY, it would be a good keyboard. I just feel like after using the standard layout for years, it would be hard to switch.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.

Going to start studying this. I'll let y'all know what happens.
EDIT: This would be a lot easier with a program to help. Does anyone know of any program such as Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, but for the Dvorak layout? MBTT supports the Dvorak layout, but the virtual keyboard within the program is still QWERTY, so it's essentially the same as some Flash game that requires you to type :p
EDIT: This is extremely frustrating. It wouldn't be so bad, except I don't have stickers for my keyboard :/
