My colleague's keyboard crapped out today during a conference call, and my first instinct was for him to bring up the Keyboard Viewer as a stopgap measure so he could interact with the system somehow -- But I couldn't figure out how to pull it up using just the mouse?

Does anybody know how to pull this utility up in Snow Leopard?

Thanks!

System Preferences > Languages & text > Input Sources tab

Select 'Show Input menu in menu bar'

You'll then see a flag in the menu bar. Click on that and select 'Show Keyboard Viewer'
