Or the printer friendly (http://discovermagazine.com/1997/apr/thecurseofqwerty1099/article_print), for everything on one page.

That's a really good story about the history of QWERTY and DVORAK, and calls some other things into question (like the imperial measurements, 60-minute hour, base-10 counting, 26,000,000-character Chinese alphabet, etc).
