I just bought an American iBook (i live in the UK) but being told that the apple macs use the same keyboard in the UK and the US, now i have just seen somewhere that they dont!! can some one clear this up for me? if they are different can you tell me the differences in them? i mean in the setup for win xp it asks for which region you are in UK or anywhere else does it do this when installing OSX? thx

Built-in full-size keyboard with 77 (US) or 78 (ISO) keys, including 12 function keys, 4 arrow keys (inverted “T” arrangement) and embedded numeric keypad

Solid-state trackpad for precise cursor control; supports tap, double-tap and drag capabilities

Thats all i could find on the apple.com/uk/ page
I don't think there should be any problems im just not sure how you would sset up the pound key

I started college when I was about 17 and 2 months.
