Well, for one thing, there are still a few old dinosaurs like me around who
still use actual manual typewriters which have QWERTY keyboards. Speed is
limited by the machine's propensity for type jams. QWERTY was a solution to
that problem. There are, however, other standards. One of the best is the
Dvorak keyboard, and most modern OS's do have the capability to emulate a
Dvorak and other keyboards.
