Synergy at Work? Again?

Perhaps higher universal forces thought that the death-throes should be speeded up, lest they suffer the ignominy of having even the do0dZ walk out in mid Ad-stream, too. (Hey! didn't Scott peel off some fivers* to get us Off the ad.doubleclick teat?) * which IIRC -WeThey still owe! Now a friend has converted to Dvorak keyboard, painfully... after all these years. Should we send Scott a Dvorak too: it's Much Faster but, first.. it Hurts quite a bit. A.

He's set up "aaa" and "mmm" scripts for switching layouts on-the-fly. "aaa" sets it to US; "mmm" sets to Dvorak. Why those letters? Because they're the only two that are in the same place on both keyboard layouts. -YendorMike In order to understand recursion, one must understand recursion.

I think I've reached my limit on a Qwerty (~80 wpm), and I've heard great things on a Dvorak, if you can teach an old dog new tricks. What's a good board? Any site that carries it? Any books, software, etc... to help alleviate the learning pains? -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya. You "killed -9" my parent process. Prepare to vi.

Let's hear how you decide, too - please.. It looks formidable - worse than learning to ride a bicycle sitting backwards and going uphill - in UK, where they drive on the wrong side ;-) A.
