   • 1984, Jerry [Eugene] Pournelle, The Users Guide to Small Computers (Pournelle Users Guide; #1), New York, N.Y.: Baen Enterprises, →ISBN, page 66:

     There follows a certain amount of irrelevant material condemning the QWERTYUIOP keyboard. It's not that it isn't true: we all know that not only is QWERTYUIOP not optimum for touch typing, but that it was designed that way!

     In the case of the QWERTYUIOP keyboard, specifically, the obvious questions to pursue are (1) why this particular keyboard letter arrangement came about in the first place (rather than something else), and (2) how it (rather than something else) came to dominate, or became apparently 'locked-in'.
