I'm very slowly learning the DVORAK keyboard layout. In a rare occasion for me to actually purchase software, I have copies of Ten Thumbs and Master Key. They're both great programs each with their own strengths and they were good starts for introducing me to the home row. While I could have practiced by blogging, last night I used reCAPTCHA as my word list for practice. Their learn more page has a demo box you can use to submit OCR strings. Learning to type all over again is frustrating to say the least, but I'm convinced it's worth it.

If you have a Mac, and want to convert to DVORAK, grab the top two corners of your keys and pull forward. There's a lip on the bottom of the key holding that part on. Just be sure you grab the tippy tip of the corners because otherwise you'll also grab the white clips that hold on to the body of the keyboard and those are a pain to put back together.
