hey

I dont know which topic this comes under but im in the UK and bought my MacBook from the US.

Now i have a $ symbol instead of a £ and wondered if there was a way to save the £ sign to come up when i use the $ button.

Please help

Thank you

where is the dollar symbol on the keyboard?

If you set your keyboard as british in the keyboard preferences then £ (shift 3) will give you the pound sign

Not sure what this has to do with MacWorld, moved appropriately.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
