a heavy input load may induce someone to re-train themselves to use the Devorak (sp) keyboard - is that in your pic masrum??

the Qwerty ones were designed for mech. typewriters to prevent users from typing too fast for the machine

I used to love the std. Qwerty layout mech. keyboards but switched to Apple & now use one of their muchy wireless ones with a numeric keypad
