[lopsa-tech] Dvorak keyboards

2014-10-29 Thread Morgan Blackthorne
I'm a Dvorak user, and I'm looking for a backlit keyboard already in Dvorak. Suggestions very welcome. Backlighting on my MacBook has spoiled me, I'll admit, but at this point that box spends most of its time with the lid down (at least until I can get a Mac Mini). _

So once I flip the dip switch to Dvorak mode, I am then able to move the keycaps around to match the layout, correct? -- ~*~ StormeRider ~*~ "Every world needs its heroes [...] They inspire us to be better than we are. And they protect from the darkness that's just around the corner." (from Smal

I have hypermobility (probably Ehler-Danlos) and I'm prone to RSI. QWERTY was designed to slow people down and prevent typewriter heads from jamming; it's really a crappy layout for us to have continued with into the age of computers. Dvorak is a lot more ergonomic. On Oct 29, 2014 8:59 AM, "Tracy

Ah, well, when I'm not a sysadmin, I am a writer. :) So I come at things from that perspective as well, not necessarily just from a dev/SA perspective. While I can agree that ergonomics will vary from person to person, intentionally spacing out frequently used keys from each other does cause you t

Office 365 can be had in many flavors. The entry level ones are cloud based, you cannot download the apps locally. Starting with the enterprise plans, you can DL office and access local files. Otherwise you need to edit them online from onedrive or sharepoint. On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 6:36 PM, Evan

Yup. That's why we went with the higher priced plan. We ended up needing the long-term archiving and went with the $20/user enterprise e3 plan. That being said, I still think it's worth it and a good choice overall. MS is now making "unlimited" space available on OneDrive and they're even adding in
