Got a new keyboard this morning. taking me ages to work out what does what!! Lots more keys than I had before, almost looks as though I don't need the computer, it's all on the keyboard! Will have to have a play to get used to it. Keys are closer together but the keyboard is spill proof!!!!

Know what you mean Lindy, luckily I haven't. Is the Portuguese one the same as Spanish keyboards with the @ sign in a strange place? I always get confused if I use Wendy's in Tenerife!!

Carole Tinkerbelle, lots and lots of keys, some I have worked out, some not. I can access mail, forward and send mail, open folders, open a new page in a document, save and print all by pressing buttons on the keyboard. Actually I am very impressed so far. It is a M******ft 1000

CarolB, not experimented to see if it is drop proof..... yet!

I bought a separate keyboard from a well known supermarket for £7 last year to use with my laptop, it's got loads of extra keys which I haven't explored yet!

Ann,

The key board I have has the @ sigh together with the 2 and the ".

As for all the other keys that I don't know I just ignore.
