> I'd love to learn Dvorak but the problem is not all computers are easily configured to Dvorak.

Changing layout on OS X and Gnome (I'm not sure about Win) is quite fast, usually if I need to type on someone else computer for more than 10 minutes I tell them and change it.

Also even if I've switched to Dvorak a year ago I can still type at a good speed on qwerty.

Switching in Windows is easy. With the right configuration it's just ctrl+shift to swap back and forth.

I've been using Dvorak for 12 years. Initially my QWERTY speed was seriously hampered, but after being in environments where switching was less convenient (public labs and the like) it recovered.
