Well I saw it as the “Programmer’s Keyboard” and I had to try it so I installed some linux distro on an old 486DX2 I had sitting around, it was actually an old version of Slack that I keep for just such computers that hate X as much as I do and set it to kick ass in Dvorak keyboard mode.
Well I don’t know if you can imagine this or not but I type pretty freaking fast when I know what I want to say, and that counts me checking for errors as I type. Not as fast as Steve or as hard as Jim but pretty quick! So imagine me sitting at a computer with this crappy old 15 inch CRT that I use for Linux boxes trying to find “ls” or “wget” or even my personal favorite “lynx http://google.com.”
For those of you who are still wondering what the hell I am blabbering about here you go, here is an image of the layout that this keyboard that is “better” for your hands and speed looks like.
So long story short, try it out so you can feel my frustration!

That looks like damn hebrew to me or something no way in hell. Wish i had tried this last night…
Using that keyboard is probably like thinking in some foreign language.
