Odd. When I type this out, I see a screen similar to the ones in this image, and something about geothermo-something or other:

Well, I'll be....And it seems like the end of the alphabet is what takes the brunt.

On a HP at work

EDIT: Following Don't Panic's methodology:

BN?
 
Hmm I can see how this is a puzzling issue...

But I can't help to say..

Does it really matter?


It doesn't effect any normal keystrokes. I can't recall ever holding down both shift keys and typing.

Good find though.
 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ :confused:

What am I missing?




EDIT: I clicked on page 3 of this thread and thought nbs2 was the OP and I was very confused. Going back now to read the other 80 posts......
 
Here we go again, this time on my macbook (previous post from horrible work Dell)

ABCDFGHJKLMNPSVXZ
 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Meh, they all come up for me (iBook G4).

I think its basically because some keyboards have different sets of keys going through one circuit or something, making it impossible to hold down certain combinations of keys together, probably a limitation of the design.

Looks fine to me on my powerbook G4 15".

Interesting...my Rev. D 15" PB gives ABCDFGHJKLMNSVXZ.
 
ok I'll drink the Kool Aid:

ABCDEFHIJKLMNOPQRSUVWXZ

This is a POS Gateway M405 laptop. My question is: How the H3ll did you discover this? Bored, tired, off your meds?!
 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÆØÅ

..while my keyboard is set to Norwegian.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

..while it's set to American English.

Haven't read all the bizillion posts, just skipped to the end of the thread.
 
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

:confused:

Edit: Ooooh, both shift keys? :p

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Nope, still fine. I'm using a Microsoft keyboard at work on an old Compaq desktop.
 
I thought it would be interesting to do a chart of all the letters in the order they were posted. It was less interesting than I thought though. :p

Clearly, Forum Spy has made your MR browsing far too efficient and now you've got too much time on your hands while twiddling your thumbs waiting for new posts to show up. ;) :D
