| penguin42 | if anyone needs a few keyboards, https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/a1_us_usb_keyboard_x50_uskybd2/version.asp is kind of fun | 20:47 |
| daftykins | haha wow | 20:48 |
| penguin42 | they also have 80 US kettle leads for £1 - I guess they've been importing US models and reboxing them | 20:50 |
| daftykins | haha why would anyone want their horrid layout? :) | 20:51 |
| penguin42 | I mean importing US PCs which came with keyboards/kettle leads | 20:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | i saw a fair few of those in late 80s... how do i get a pound sign? | 21:30 |
| penguin42 | alt-gr 3 sometimes does it - but I often dealt with imported US test machines | 21:33 |
| penguin42 | I also know quite a few people get US mac laptops because the UK keyboard layout is a bit weird | 21:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | telling them hold down alt and type 156 on numeric keypad was easiest | 21:34 |
| penguin42 | haha | 21:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | i mean we could install a uk keyboard driver but it would make 10% of the rest of the symbols in wrong place... :-0 | 21:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | * :-) | 21:34 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:34 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: I also deal a lot with that type of thing; for example accessing a VM installed with US keyboards over a remote VNC like connection from my UK keyboard; how many translation layers are there? | 21:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | can't you make it work? yes, ir£100 for a new keyboard, ir£50 for delivery and installation... | 21:35 |
| daftykins | when my lass was visiting from Texas she brought her work laptop and had to do a couple of days, i put a spare keyboard on for her and had to set up the UK layout on her machine ;D | 21:35 |
