I have that problem also, when I'm using someone else's computer.  I'm
proficient at Dvorak (about 60 wpm; not too hot, but I like it), and using a
Qwerty keyboard reduces me back to hunt-and-pecking.  It's not a pretty sight.
But I use my own computers almost (99.99%) exclusively, so embarassing myself
with a Qwerty keyboard is a rare occurance.
