Neowin Mac users

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

Just pop the letters into the QWERTY format, and then from the keyboard/mouse pane of system preferences change the keyboard to English US (or whatever you want). I bought my MB in the US (and live in the UK) so I just switched it. I was too lazy to find a 3 key with a ? on it though:pp

You bought a MBP with qwerty french Canadian keyboard in the us?

[BoJo]

Lol no. My post made no sense at all though :pinch: :p

What I meant to say was that my using a KB from the US, but with a UK setting meant that if he moved the keys of his MBP around, he could use it as normal (after changing the language in the settings).

Slight Update:

Alu MacBook

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz

2GB Ram

160GB HD

Nvidia 9400M

OS X 10.5.5

Vista SP1

Basically, the entry stock one. I have a hatrid of backlit keyboards, so I decided to take the buy-low-and-upgrade route - I have a 500GB hard drive and 4GB of DDR3 on the way (the crazy thing is that it cost me ?190 for the ram and hdd, which makes this one - 2.0ghz, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD and no backlit keyboard ?10 less than the high end MacBook, and I have a spare 160GB HDD and 2GB of ram).
