Well it's true though, originally when it was in alphabetical order people would type too fast on them, so they jumbled up the letters like the article says to slow people down.
But now...trying to bring it in now is just stupid.
I've been typing since like 2nd grade and can comfortably do 80wpm and up to 100Wpm if I really want to type something up quick....but then to have to go and re-learn the layout!?
Freakin ridiculous.
I hope that will NEVER catch on.
IMO if you can't learn something you weren't meant to do it. That's how you filter out the bad seeds. If you can't type on a standard keyboard then practice more or don't type.
Grrr....lame idea of them
