| 00:28 | < Alek> | I never mentioned a computer, just a calculator. |
| 00:30 | < Alek> | also I recall sci-fi shorts about space trips where the computers were wiped and the crew had to improvise abaci to recalculate everything needed to safely complete their trip. |

| 01:12 | <@gnolam> | I had always heard of people being as fast with abaci as others are with calculators or actual cash registers. It wasn't until 2018 I got to see it with my own eyes. Small shop in rural Transnistria, where the cashier used an actual abacus. And it was true. |
| 01:12 | <@gnolam> | But I do think macdjord nails it. |
| 01:15 | <@gnolam> | This is after all the actual reason why Dvorak has traditionally tested superior to QWERTY (... aside from Dvorak's own *rigged* tests): you're comparing trained typists to average typists. |
| 01:18 | <@gnolam> | (Spend the same amount of training hours improving a QWERTY typist's typing as you do retraining a typist to use Dvorak and the former ends up with the higher WPM) |
