Apparently experiences vary. Can anyone point to a larger dataset?
Unlike Lex, I did lose my qwerty touch typing ability, despite
occasional use. And unlike Mark, converting took me only a month,
during which I was employed and spending most of my free time
bicycling and hiking, not slaving over the typing tutor. I've always
been an only 40 words per minute typist; maybe that makes converting
easier. :-)
