> Every computer you were about to use would have a different layout. Absolutely, I tried a couple of different layouts for a while ( PLUM and Dvorak ) but what brought me back to QWERTY was the ubiquity of hardware. Every time I'd sit down at a client's computer I'd spend a minute or two apologising for typing like a clumsy fool until I'd readapted to QWERTY. My custom keyboards were back at my desk... Certainly the other layouts were more efficient and less demanding on the hands and fingers, but just weren't ubiquitous enough for someone that worked in multiple locations.
