Anyone have an estimate or range on how long it takes to switch from QWERTY to DVORAK? I copy at about 80 wpm and compose at about 30 wpm, and have invested about 100 hours in learning / drilling / exploring QWERTY techniques. How long should I expect to spend learning DVORAK?
Is typing speed your bottleneck? If not, why bother, 80wpm is plenty fast for most uses.
I increasingly have mild pain in my finger muscles and hand bones; it's mostly a safety concern for me.
And to complete my earlier answer above, I did switch because I was beginning to have hand pains, and now I don’t. Pirates decline and global warming, etc.
