I was looking around at some myLot profiles and I noticed that alot of you are from out of the States. So I just wanted to know if your keyboards are different. For example, my symbols 0-9 (when you hold down shift) are ) ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( are yours the same? If not what are they?

From the Philippines here. We have an American-standard keyboard so it's the same as yours. Most of the standards we use are American because it's mostly universal - even if we import or export the same products, it would always have a supplier or a market :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Oh No Problem ! :) And are there any other keyboards? I just know of the standard ones and the ones that the court people use to type up the case (can't remember what it is called).

I also don't know what that is called but I'm pretty sure it's not the same as the computer keyboards. It's more like a special typewriter :)

Yes, you can actually find the Spanish keyboard layout if you look under Regional and Language options or the Keyboard control panel- (not sure which). I actually bought a keyboard in Mexico so that I can type in Spanish a lot faster
