Dvorak: Maybe Not.

I switched my keyboard map to the DVORAK layout, to see if it could help me type faster. After a day, I was (slowly) touch-typing without too many mistakes. I could feel my brain making fresh neurons already.

Then I realized my barcode scanner didn't get the message about using the new map. Scanning serial numbers is a big part of the job sometimes. I am not going to be typing in 20, 20-digit alphanumeric serial numbers. Also, data entry errors that went away when we all got barcode scanners are not going to be cropping up from JUST my station if I can help it.

So. Back to QWERTY. Oh well.
