QWERTY

QWERTY is a keyboard layout for Latin script. The name comes from reading the first six keys appearing on the top left letter row of the keyboard (Q W E R T Y) from left to right. The QWERTY design is based on a layout created for the Sholes and Glidden typewriter and sold to Remington in 1873. It became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878, and remains in use on electronic keyboards due to inertia, the difficulty of learning a layout that differs from the currently entrenched standard, the network effect of a standard layout, and the claim by some that alternatives fail to provide very significant advantages.

History and purposes

The QWERTY layout was devised and created in the early 1870s by Christopher Latham Sholes, a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In October 1867, Sholes filed a patent application for his early writing machine he developed with the assistance of his friends Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soulé.

The first model constructed by Sholes used a piano-like keyboard with two rows of characters arranged alphabetically as follows:

    Quantum is an alien supervillain in the Marvel Universe. Created by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom, the character first appeared in West Coast Avengers vol. 2, #12 (September 1986).

    Within the context of the stories, Quantum is an alien soldier from the planet Dakkam, one of the platoon of superpowered Dakkamite troops known as The Elect. The scientists of his race noted that exposure to Earth's sun had given one Dakkamite renegade superpowers - they sought to exploit this by placing a platoon of soldiers inside specially designed 'incubator capsules', which were then located close to the sun. Quantum wakes at the end of this treatment to discover that his powers have manifested - but that the rest of The Elect has already gone. Searching for his comrades, he becomes part of a supervillain team assembled by Graviton to resemble the Unified Field Theory. Halflife represents the weak force, Quantum represents the strong force, while Zzzax represents electromagnetism. Graviton himself represents gravity, and promises Quantum that he would help to locate the missing soldiers. Graviton and his allies are defeated by the West Coast Avengers. Quantum, no longer believing Graviton's promises, abandons the team and goes his own way.
