Gosh, I can't believe modern keyboards still maintain the horrible staggered key arrangement... it's like we're sill in the 1800's.

I have never heard anyone before talking so seriously about typing.

We do a lot of crazy things. I KNOW that I should be using the Colemak layout, and I would make the change immediately, except for the fact that I sit behind at least a half-dozen computers regularly (that is, for at least several minutes, each, weekly), what with helping out family, co-workers, and friends, so I opt to stay with straight ANSI as much as possible, just because it is the "path of least resistance" .......

But this video is totally cool, no doubt!

TYPING AND YOU.... so informative

No doubt the kids should be learning colemak today.  I am too lazy to convert though.  

Dropping from 100+wpm and working my way back up from zero would just be too frustrating and even then I'd have to face qwerty on every other keyboard I encounter.
:(

that's why most people think of us and our keyboards.
