It took just 2 1/2 months at 1/2 hour a day to learn it. I've been typing at over 100 wpm ever since without any pain or tingly feelings. As for special characters, you can always go to Staples or Office Depot and get the stick-on character labels and put them just on those symbol keys that you don't use often.

So we use Windows and a standard QWERTYUIOP Keyboard. In the operating System you can set the keyboard arrangement to be different for each user. Also, have an Icon on the screen that allows changing back and forth as some times it is difficult to remember a special character's location. The Key Caps can also be changed on many keyboards, but it is a little difficult with some of the 'sculptured' keys. Have you ever talked to a typing teacher about Dvoark?
