SHORT BLURB ON THE DVORAK LAYOUT IN SPEED One side feature that Speed incorporates is the ability to allow you to type in the innovative Dvorak key layout rather than the rather stodgy Qwerty. Back in the 1930's a professor Dvorak made a scientific analysis of what keys and key combinations are struck the most and then rearranged the familiar Qwerty layout to a new one designed to allow faster and more accurate typing. It's beyond my purposes to teach Dvorak; several sources do an excellent job. One particular one is the typing program "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing!" Version 3 for Windows, which is great for learning touch typing in both Qwerty and Dvorak.
