I've been working with it for about three weeks now and I'm up to about
35 wpm. I'm using Mavis Beacon GS. The only real problem is that the
program maps the keys over to the Dvorak layout in _software_, so you
have to have the control panel set to the U.S. layout.

In general, I like the layout. It makes a lot more sense than the Sholes
arrangement. You can tell _immediately_ that your fingers aren't doing as
much travelling around.
