It's like a 2nd language (Score 1)

I'd been typing qwerty for 4 years when I tried Dvorak. When I learned qwerty originally it took me about a year to reach 40 words a minute. It took me only two weeks of learning Dvorak layout to pass my original speed of 40 wpm, in addition my hands would get tired when typing for longer than an hour, with Dvorak they never do. In 3 years of using dvorak I'm now up to 60wpm. And for all the naysayers, yes I type 45wpm in qwerty, it's just like speaking a second language.
