The z and the y are switched on German keyboards. The @ symbol is invoked using and alternative capital on the Q and the various brackets and slashes have been moved to accomodate ü ö ä.
I'm spending the summer working in Münster Germany. Just in case anyone was wondering about my unusual hours of late.

The hardest problem for me was that I could never remember where they stuck the pipe. How can you live without pipes?! Also, Model-M style return keys seemed a lot more common (I don't like them).

I had the same issue in the Czech Republic when I was teaching English. I don't think I ever typed up a test that didn't include at least 1 "mz" in it.

I had problems in Mexico due to the lack of an apostrophe. It's one of those little grammar devices where you don't know what you got till it's gone, you know? Posts: 99 | Registered: Sep 2003

Of course, without a Czech keyboard, it's impossible to type Dvořák without resorting to Unicode character mappings. Posts: 159 | Registered: Jun 2004

oooh, I hated the . masquerading as an : on french keyboards.
And it's really hard to find a full stop - I think it involved shift, which I think is dumb dumb. My little finger hurt after a long email, due it's extra shifting duties.
