According to the popular story, the keyboard invented by August Dvorak, a professor of education at the University of Washington, is vastly superior to the Qwerty keyboard developed by Christopher Sholes that is now in common use. We are to believe that, although the Dvorak keyboard is vastly superior to the Qwerty, virtually no one trains on Dvorak because there are too few Dvorak typists.
—from Famous Fables of Economics, Chapter 4: Fable of the Keys, a book by Stan J. Liebowitz and Stephen E. Margolis
