Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, and an Open Thread

About a month ago, after suffering major symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. As a result of a few really bad and painful days, a decided I had to start changing things to keep things from getting worse. That is when I discovered the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard — an alternative to the standard QWERTY layout. i decided after some research to make the switch. It has been an interesting journey. And while my typing speed is still slower than my best at QWERTY, I am constantly improving. And my CTS/RSI symptoms have become more tolerable.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of by readers here are Dvorak users. If there are,  I would love to chat about your experience switching. I have been chronicling my progress on my personal blog.
