When I hit <shift>3, I should get a hash, but I get a british pound (£).
Whats the deal?
Thanks

Are you sure you're not hitting option-3?

Hmm, mine is just the opposite...
shift+3 gives #
alt+3 gives £

You may have a keyboard mapping that switches those, and other keys may be mapped as well in a way that suits the prior owner, but may not be to your liking. AFAIK, there is no easy foolproof way to alter the mapping - just be aware that such a thing exists, and to change it will require research/risk/tinkering.
