Hi guys!
What kind of keybord do you have?
Have you tried different sorts of keybords? What do you prefer?
I personnaly use a AZERTY in France, but I will have to get used to a QWERTY keyboard as soon as I go to Canada...

You forgot QWERTZ
used in Germany....
I think most other European countries use qwerty....
In belgium we use azerty, mainly because it's a typically french button-layout and there are some people in belgium trying to speak french
:D

What's the real differnce in positioning buttons differently? I could well write french with my qwerty keyboard (it's just could because I don't know much french yet).
But on the other hand it's not that hard to imagine why you use them, because also here in Finland we have a modified qwerty keyboard with å, ä and ö added, althogh at least ä and ö could be rather easily written with a standard qwerty keyboard.

Of course a QWERTZ - although in good old DOS days I had to convert in mind before...
(I hope you get what I want to say....)

One of my friends tried yesterday night to persuade me all the world except France (and so Belgium and germany) uses QWERTY keyboards.
On his mind, the qwerty is the best keyboard...
