Qwerty is the name of the common keyboard layout of letters. I assume
this means that the site is expecting the input from a qwerty keyboard
and not some other layout. The "qwerty" comes from the letters at the
top left row of the keyboard. Since humans could type faster than early
manual typewriters could respond the qwerty keyboard was actually
designed to slow people down and be awkward. A triumph of human
engineering that hangs on just because it's become standard.

Sorry if I caused problems with your email Eric, but for some reason
after setting up my account through the use of majorcool, I was not able
to successfully send to the list using the usual healeys@autox.team.net
address. Using healeys-qwerty@autox.team.net gets me through to the
list, so I've been using it. I have no idea what qwerty means. May if we
translated it from British to American it might mean "secret address"
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.....or eyes in this case.
