suggest that the link is changed from the techcrunch article, to the one techcrunch leads to, that is: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/09/11/dont-waste-money-on-a-new-computer-for-college/ http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/09/11/dont-waste-money-on-a-n... edit: on the actual content of the article: I've found in my experience, that I can't use any of the school's computers. This is out of self-choice, in that I like unix (even in CS, we have a ton of windows boxes), and I use dvorak (lugging my computer to all labs means I get to touch-type at 70-80 wpm as opposed to hunting & pecking at 20-30 wpm).

> I use dvorak You couldn't go into the control panel and change the keyboard layout?

  In my experience, windows doesn't apply dvorak universally when I try to set it to. It's much more productive on my end to just bring my own computer.

On the XP boxes in my school i just add dvorak to the layouts. The machines have multiple layouts already(im in Bulgaria), so nobody notices until they misclick, and they usually have the common sense to check the current layout(when they don't, a small intellectual tragedy occurs, especially if they happen to be CS students).
