Does anyone know the key combination to make the last letter of the alpha bet in Windows? This letter does not work on the keyboard I am using.

Not sure what you mean by key combination but the hex is 7A and the character reference (decimal) is z

Remember when we were doing those foreign characters with windows the other day, I was hoping I could do it that way.

I guess I could cut and paste it each time

Alt + 122

Test:

z

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good idea, but I am not sure how in Windows.

Or invest in a new keyboard?

Not my computer. I am waiting for a whole new computer to arrive, but stuck with missing letters etc, makes for fun (frustration).

How did you break your keyboard?

My last keyboard survived a whole cup of coffee, a complete washing in the sink .... oh well I guess not all are created equally.

Well, this is not my computer... mine broke a few weeks back.

I think 4 year old computers just give up. I actually popped the keys off and cleaned underneath, this fixed a few of them, but the (last letter key) won't come good.

ohhhh bummer.

Roll on iMac :)

Whats the Apple Pro keyboard like? Have you used it?

My keyboard was about 3 years old and the model before the pro version.

I like the proversion and how you feel it's presence while your typing. It's like driving a mercedes benz.

*drool*

I'm thinking of getting one and leaving it at work since I don't have the desk space at home anymore.

Yeah, it's worth drooling over. I wanted one from the start but my original G4 tower one just refused to die even after the coffee incident.

You word that like you tired to kill it!

He he... well I would too if it meant a new mac :)

Actually, I just hate sticky keys and a Q-Tip (ear swab thingy) wasn't cutting it. So, I walked up to the sink and turned on the water and rinsed it like you would a PET bottle Then shook it a bit, put the keys back on, and plugged it in. Too bad that the water on the board was making my keys repeat or just not register. So I got my wife's hair dryer and dryed it. Worked great!!!, Got rid of the ashes, cat hair, and other grit. On top of that, it looked almost like new, none of that keyboard grit. Hehe, that's 2 keyboards I've washed so far, the other was from a tangerine 333 iMac. My cat peed on the keyboard. lol I have idea why either. Just in case, I sold it off soon. At least it didn't smell anymore. Cat pee is like glue when it dries.



Now how many out of the box keyboards can do that? Sure my macs cost more but they've saved me money too.

Now THAT is a good keyboard.

I could not find the running keyboard under tap KB on apple support, you should submit it! LOL

I hope my dog does not pee on my new keyboard

oops, that was a lot of smileys, sorry hehe

hmmm, I should post that apple. I've read were people have driven over old 520c powerbooks and suffered a cracked screen but other wise still usable machine albiet through an external monitor.

Your dog is that big? I can't imagine that kind of range to hit a keyboard on a desk.

Yeah, I was reading on a forum somewhere about some guy who rescued an old iMac from the street!

Rescued?....isn't that where they belong?

I think you would be perfect for one of those Apple Switcher advertismetns Paul!

I've not seen them

macs found on the street normally still work and have a processor speed of like 33 or 66, while a pc on street is normally beyond repair with a PIII in it.


Apple's Newton is still one of the best PDAs ... oops that's a tangent oh well it sort of relates.
