Hi all,
My Cousin had a incident with my keyboard and a hot cup of coffee and all the keys are stuck. I am now stuck with a 1st gen iMac Keyboard ):
Any recommendations are appreciated!
U are welcome to post pics.
 
that didn't cross my mind at the time of the first post.

I will go to the apple store to pick 1 up.

Thnx macrumors yet again
 
why not get one of those new keyboards from apple ?
They look really cool, I'm just waiting until apple updates the Mac Pro to get one for myself.

[btw, I had never noticed before that Photo Booth pictures were mirror images. What's up with that?]

I use the older style Apple keyboard, the generation right before the current aluminum ones, which I am pretty sure we are all familiar with.
 
I've got two aluminum keyboards, one for my iMac, and the other for my MBP when it's at my desk. I love them both. I've also got an older model bluetooth keyboard lying around that I got when I bought my wireless mighty mouse (which I still use).

Look in the Edit Menu. Tell it to Auto-Flip New Photos.

Here's my keyboard at work. Long live the good old clicky IBM keyboards with the keycaps that can be so easily rearranged.

Do you like the wireless keyboard? I really wish they had a full scale keyboard and not a laptop keyboard… i think I would miss the numpad and full size arrow keys and normal home/del/end keys etc…
I love it. I really don't miss the numpad at all...I mean, how much do you really use it? I can see needing it if you are constantly entering numbers into Excel or Quicken or something, but otherwise, I just realized that I rarely ever use any numbers, and if I do, it's not hard to hit the ones above the letters. Glad I bought this one and returned my wired aluminum!
 
Apples ads reached its goal, so to speak. I did show a picture of the new keyboard to a friend, and she said something like "Looks like an iPod :)".

What to say? ;D
 
Is that dvorak layout? I tried dvorak for a while, when I got used to it, I was quite fast. But shortcuts like command+s didnt work, so i changed it back...

That's the Swedish version of dvorak yes, which adds åäö.
Shortcuts should work.. It does here :] I like that q and w is separated, there are nothing more irritating than hitting q instead of w when you shall close a tab in Safari. :p

It looks like its a keyboard from another country, but aren't most countries using QWERTY or AZERTY? Or a variant of it? Looks like he just rearranged the keys ;)
