Yesterday my MacBook arrived and I have to say I am very happy with it. There is just one big drawback, or let’s better say nuisance I have to get used to, namely the keyboard!

This is how to type the following keys:

• ‘{’ -> ALT+8
• ‘}’ -> ALT+9
• ’|’ -> ALT+7
• ‘[’ -> ALT+5
• ‘]’ -> ALT+6
• ’\’ -> ALT+SHIFT+7
• ’~’ -> ALT+n

If you are having trouble finding a key just try ALT SHIFT ‘some key on your keyboard’. The ‘Enter’ key is also waaaay to small and the control key is at a very position as well. And whatever is the combination for the @ sign on a german standard pc keyboard has the semantics of ‘close this application’ in MacOS X – that results in some funny mistakes ;-)
