I highly recommend learning dvorak. I've switched the keys on every MacBook since 2007 and the difference is huge (not just speed either, but mostly comfort/ease). It took about two weeks to bring myself up to the same speed as qwerty, and if you TOUCH type then switching back and forth is no problem at all. Bonus: I often find myself typing with one hand while taking notes or paging a book– with qwerty this was doable with some advanced pecking but in dvorak it just feels easy with either hand. Caveat... it makes other people look computer-illiterate when they try to use my computers... (so maybe not so good if you share a lot– or at least, switch your keys back once you've tackled the dvorak-touch)
