I could be wrong (I have been before, I will be again)  but if my memory
doesn't elude me too much, the Dvorak Keyboard is a Keyboard that has a
hinge in the middle that lets you put each half at an angle like this /\
This position is supposed to be more comfortable and efficiant to type in
for people who do alot of typing.  One other possibility--- the Keyboard
may be one that has the keys in a non standard (QWERTY) position.  The
Current qwerty keyboard was originally ment to slow the use down so the
typing levers would not jam when they went up to hit the ink ribbon on the
old typewriters...There are other keyboard styles out that use the key
frequency tables and place the mose commonly used keys in the home position.
asdfjkl;---  Like I said, I could be wrong (have been....)  And speaking of
wrong, how bout that spelling of mine!!! ;-)  oh, well, just my input...
