Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 just trying to find the smart people . how long did it take to find the best order to put the keys in ?? 344505[/snapback] It's not the best order to put the keys in. The QWERTY keyboard was designed to make typing awkward (I forget why...maybe to keep stenographers employed). People have designed better keyboards that increase typing speed by 50% or so...but everyone's so used to the QWERTY keyboard now that there's no incentive to switch.

Remember the old manual typewriters? If you got going too fast you would end up with a tangled mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
