Dvorak anyone?

Been trying to learn this Dvorak keyboard for a few days now. I'm probably up to twenty words per minute now, if I'm concentrating hard. It's killer, slowing myself down like this, but hopefully it'll pay off with a boosted typing speed eventually. Now i'm bored, having spent my time resisting the urge to look at the keys...

It's basically the same board, except that the keys are rearranged to be more efficient. The top row is: ',.pyfgcrl
The middle row: aoeuidhtns
The bottom row: ;qjkxbmwvz

I like it but I'm only around 30 wpm now...

Just do like me. Switch the keyboard layout in Windows. You'll have no choice but to not look at the keyboard. Then just print out a reference sheet for the times when you get stumped.
