My Kingdom for a UK Keyboard

Postby Lord Lucan » 29 Jun 2003, 15:32

Where can I get one ? (Well, the UK, obviously!)

used to be pretty easy, but now thaey are mostly produced in the mainland. I'll call around to a few old colleagues for you on monday to see if there are any samples laying around that they'll part with. USB, I assume.

10 drachma's and 2 chickens should cover it.

You can do something with your settings so that the computer thinks it's got a UK keyboard. Your @ and " will still appear to be in the wrong place but pressing one will get you the other.

Send me a PM next week when I am back in Taipei. I substituted a few European keyboards with locals one at work. If we still have them at the office I can pass one to you.
