[olug] OT: Learning Colemak

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

too many years touch typing for me to want to switch.  I'm a big fan of
natural keyboard pro (if you can still find them) and the more available
natural ergonomic 4000.  Both have the home/end key section in a horizontal
position.  (don't care for them in a vertical arrangement) Positioned high
in the front, low in the back.

(knock on wood) Have been able to avoid carpal type problems.
