-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ah Mel,
S�bastien is going to smile when and if he reads your post. We had this discussion on IRC. I am intrigued with the prospect of getting a Canadian keyboard. However, that won't help much with my laptop. I would rather not kari a keyboard around with it... Thanks for the suggestion all the same. These keyboards are gaining support.
