    QWERTY speed after using Colemak for an extended period of time

    I'm about ready to do this, and I've got just one thing left: what happens to your QWERTY speed after a while? I presume it decreases, and if so, is there any way to prevent that? I use other computers that I have no control over too much to give up my current speed.

    (I could swear I saw a graph of Colemak and QWERTY speeds over time somewhere on the wiki, but I can't find it now...)

    Thanks for any replies

    Maybe Ryan Heise? http://www.ryanheise.com/colemak/

    I seem to remember that your QWERTY speed doesn't have to decrease much. It's mostly a matter of keeping it up if you wish to do so. I didn't, and my QWERTY speed is now lower - mostly because I have to look at the keys to type QWERTY now.
