This was interesting - Keyboard / typewriter layout

[e39m5]

The keyboard was setup in the worst possible combination of letters so you would rarely type two keys close to eachother. This was to stop the typewriter from jamming.

Pretty cool, ay?

Same here; amazing the way we adapt; most of the time....

To me I think it's neatly designed

Hahaha, they simply make use of common words....let's say "Me" and seperate the words way far from each other...That way, we have our keyboard. I guess it just takes time to adapt to new changes in everything we do. A new chance of keyboard might be foreign for now, but in a month or two we'll say the same thing "We're simply so used to it now!".

Hehehehe,

I "peck type", change it all you want.

If the keyboard layout was changed, i'd be doomed, or just have to keep with the "older" models.
