Anton Dvorak spent 2 years compiling statistics on typists, and came up with a simpler layout to reduce the RSI problems with a typical US "QWERTY" layout. For example, using the home keys on a standard layout you can spell about 300 words, with Dvorak it's closer to 3000. It really isn't that hard to learn, either. It took me 3 days to start touch typing on Dvorak, something I was never really able to do with a standard keyboard. As an extra bonus, it discourages anyone else from trying to mess around with my computers!
