Suddenly wondered: How many of y'all are using a qwerty keyboard, and how many the new-fangled (well, relatively new-fangled!) whatchamacallit other kind?

And what IS t'other kind called?!

I use a qwerty. Cannot imagine having to retrain my fingers/brain to function on t'other kind.... T'other kind IS supposed to be much faster though, yes?

Got to thinking about this, when pondering the work of the typists who do closed captioning for live events. They're pretty damn good, if you think about it....They must use t'other kind, I suspect. Not that that alone would make 'em faster, but it would probably be a contributing factor.
