Hi,
I live in London England. I think my pc's keyboard is set as a UK one. =
But, I'm not sure I might have to check the system configuration =
utility. I have a Dell Dimension 52100
(Windows ME). I will be up grading to XP soon.
A friend knocked over a cup with a little water in it on my pc desk and =
a few drops of water got in the Dell quietkey keyboard. Unfortunately =
this was enough to ruin the keyboard. I have bought a second hand apple =
usb keyboard and it works fine. The only problem I am having is there =
doesn't appear to be a delete key. I can use the backspace button, but I =
want to delete read emails and icons on my desktop and so forth. Can you =
tell me how I can do this with this keyboard? Maybe there is an icon I =
don't understand as being the delete key.
I found this site helpful. Particularly the open apple logo and the =
swirly logo on the same key were explained.
Many thanks,
David
