Apologies if you're getting essentially this reply twice, but my first attempt seems to have vanished into the ether. I recently took my new Asus Eee (mini laptop) from Australia to England. Over there a friend arranged to have the operating system changed from Linux to MS XP. From that point on my keys responded differently. It seems that in England, the @ is two keys to the right of L and " is upper case 2. The hatch key (upper case 3) comes out as a pound symbol - a bit redundant here is Oz. All the English computers I used had this setout. I was quite surprised, as I expected UK and Oz would be the same. We use UK spelling after all. I haven't worked out how to fix it yet, but I assume it's a software setting somewhere.
