BBC News Article - Why do we all use Qwerty keyboards?

"Q-W-E-R-T-Y. How on earth did this pattern of letters get so locked into our language?
 Qwerty was the brainchild of Milwaukee port official Christopher Sholes
In 1873, Qwerty was adopted by Remington, famous for its arms and sewing machines as well as its typewriters, and it became adopted as the basis not only for English but the majority of European languages as well." ~ Nick Baker
