Further, I would assume this performance metric is 'speed'. It would be interesting to test for 'effort', but that's a lot more difficult to quantify. The other metric would be 'ease of learning', which would be relatively easy to measure.
I was mostly interested in dvorak because of it's supposed reduction in fatigue. I've just remapped my keyboard to the dvorak layout and while my typing speed is drammatically slower I'm not finding the adaptation too difficult. I've done about half of an online typing tutor and I'm finding it pretty easy. If I like it (or can stand it) for a few weeks perhaps I'll get up to speed. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
