Dvorak - Submitted for consideration

["Lawrence L. Crisp" <Lawrence.L.Crisp-1@tc.umn.edu>]

As per Chris' sugestion, I'm posting this in the interests of discusion and 
debate, not to start a war.  (despite #5)  I've included Chris' comments in 
brackets, with his permission.  I know it's not as funny as it probably 
could be, but I had had only one cup of coffee when I wrote it.  Any 
thoughts, responses, changes, disertations, or endorsements?

Top ten reasons to use Dvorak


       10.  It keeps "unwelcomes" from using your computer.
                 [I'd put this at 1 for me, but I don't really *use* Dvorak 
                  any more, and it's not funny up there.]

        9.  Easy on the joints.

        8.  Passwords typed in Dvorak on a querty keyboard (or vice versa)
            are even more secure.

        7.  Supported by most (if not all) operating systems.

        6.  Impress your friends and neighbors with blindingly fast typing
            speeds.
                      [This one is sadly up for debate. The old studies
                       seem to be flawed, and I read reports that the new
                       ones don't hold up this view.]

        5.  Can start some facinating flame wars.  [Indeed it can.]

        4.  Forget what keyboard you're on?  Think of it as instant
            encryption.

        3.  The vowels.  They *belong* together.  (It's fate)

        2.  You have a good excuse to make top ten lists that make no sense
            to non-techies.

And the number one reason to use Dvorak...
        1.  Two words:  Alpha Geek.


             [Ya think? I mean, the geeks I know don't think of me as a
              better geek when I use Dvorak, only a *geekier* geek... I
              guess that's how the Alpha Geek is defined, though.
              Please do post it, it got a few chuckles from me, and
              hopefully it will start a good discussion.]
