-The QWERTY keyboard is the standard in the US (and similar but slightly different version exist in almost every country using Latin letters). But some features in its layout are  based on mechanical considerations rather than the optimum placement for typing speed. For example, common letter combinations such as 'st' and 'th' had to be arranged so that their operating levers were separated from each other, lest they cause jams and slow down the typist. More than sixty years later, such mechanical considerations could be overcome, and Dvorak designed his keyboard layout with typing efficiency in mind.

 The QWERTY keyboard is the standard in the US (and similar but slightly different version exist in almost every country using roman letters). But some features in its layout are  based on mechanical considerations rather than the optimum placement for typing speed. For example, common letter combinations such as 'st' and 'th' had to be arranged so that their operating levers were separated from each other, lest they cause jams and slow down the typist. More than sixty years later, such mechanical considerations could be overcome, and Dvorak designed his keyboard layout with typing efficiency in mind.
-The Dvorak keyboard was ultimately unsuccessful. It still persists today, but has never threatened the dominance of the QWERTY keyboard.  Even if the Dvorak layout is  more efficient (which is still a matter for debate, see the uncomfortable truth in [[561: Well]]), QWERTY was and is the standard. This means that every keyboard user has to learn QWERTY anyway, and there is insufficient benefit in spending the time to learn a new layout, especially when you would have to switch back and forth between Dvorak and QWERTY as the situation demands (see [[554: Not Enough Work]]). Hence it is often used in jokes about time management like the two mentioned before and [[1445: Efficiency]].

		+	In [[1806: Borrow Your Laptop]] Cueball's laptop is not set to QWERTY as standard, but he does not say it is set to Dvorak, although this seems must likely. But hence the comic cannot be listed directly under this category.
