What is the difference between a qwerty keyboard and an ABC keyboard?
A QWERTY-type keyboard has the layout of semi-randomly placed keys on a keyboard. The layout was created to slow down fast typists using an ABC-type keyboard, as older typewriters could not handle fast typing speeds without jamming errors. The layout does not show a pattern of the alphabet. This is the most popular type of keyboard, and is widely accepted for all uses. A ABC-type keyboard has the layout of neatly placed keys on a keyboard, in alphabetical order. This layout is not popular at all, and is not widely accepted, for modern reasons. Going from the QWERTY format to an ABC-type format would take much adjustment.

What is meant by a Dvorak keyboard and how are they used in Ham Radio?
The Dvorak keyboard has nothing to do with Amateur Radio, other than some Hams prefer to use it. John Dvorak, a number of years ago, set out to create a more logical keyboard than what we have inherited from typewriters. His system changes the keys around so that the vowels and very common consonants can be typed with your two index fingers. The slightly less common consonants are typed by the middle finger, and so on. The result is that somewhere around 90% of you keystrokes can be done by just the index and middle fingers. The Dvorak keyboard is much easier for a beginner to learn than the QWERTY keyboard.
