I did this on my 12" PB and it worked great. It is kind of scary though. use the PB FixIt Guide to take off the keyboard and it will be a little easier. The looks on your friends…

just looked up the dvorak keyboard and even read up on it a bit. i cant even begin to imagine how i would type on one of those. looks intimidating.

It's actually much easier to do that you'd think - and makes much more sense. The problem is having to use a regular keyboard afterward....

i was looking at the diagrams and its just way too different for me to adapt to. im comfortable with the way things are

I started using Dvorak a couple of months ago and didn't retrain on it. So my speed on it is still pretty low but it is getting better. I still have to look at the keys some to rem…

I am interested in trying out Dvorak on my PB keyboard as well, however one of the things that i'm afraid will be too difficult to transition is the use of hotkeys. Can anyone tel…

You can either use dvorak shortcuts or qwerty shortcuts. For qwerty shortcuts, use the input method "DQ" when you turn on dvorak. For the dvorak shortcuts, use "DV."

I was real fast on QWERTY, and I think I'm almost as fast now on DVORAK, but I have more errors still. I still haven't popped the keys off as others use my keyboard and I have th…

this seems really cool, but im too used to qwerty and there really is no need for me to type that much faster, is there a way to remap the keys on a powerbook though? i didnt see …

The whole Dvorak argument was put down several years ago. For a long time it was believed to be the "ultimate" keyboard layout, however most of the studies done comparing the two t…

I think the main reason people switch, is actually because they believe they will be more "elite" Quote: Originally Posted by poulh exaaaactly

This just looks entirely too difficult to get the hang of. I've spent 10+ years becoming a good typist, and there's no way I'd have the time to learn this. The only way I could se…

Awesome. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Went to the Apple store and they said it couldn't be done. Well I do believe Dvorak is a superior typing system, just from my…

Has anyone had any success compiling the source code? I get errors during compile with Xcode and end up with a broken app.

Success! Here's what you need to do: 1. Create a new account named "johnd". Log into this new account. 2. Download the FFMpeg source code from http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/cvs/. I…

I'm not sure I understand this. Let me get this straight, this Accellent thing is for better mpeg2 playback by using the gpu, right?

Exactly. Apple�s DVD Player is currently the only app that can make use of the GPU to decode MPEG-2 content. Other apps, such as VLC, must use the CPU to accomplish this. While a …

The most recent FFMpeg snapshot that compiles using the patch files is 4/18/05. Accellent cannot play any high definition MPEG-2 files (those with a video size greater than 720 pi…
