The guy I knew who used the Dvorak keyboard was maybe around 25 years old at the time.

I had heard the Dvorak keyboard was supposed to be faster to type on, and that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to be slower for typing to prevent typewriter arms from jamming, but I've since heard that isn't really true.
