	That is the curious thing about DVORAK.  If you have
learned QWERTY already, the switch between keyboards isn't
worth the confusion.  In other words, if you EVER need to
use QWERTY on a regular basis, it isn't worth the time of
the mistakes made with DVORAK as your native type.

	There's another point to consider.  DVORAK is not
widely supported enough by Apple software.  Diagnostic
tests give you QWERTY layouts and the like.  And software
with qwik-keys don't give the DVORAK optional layout, so
it's up-hill.
