They're not commonly available in stores. However, Large Format Computing, Inc manufactures them and sells them worldwide.

Spanish keyboards aren't available in stores in Italy or France. Since they have to order a keyboard from somewhere else for the specific purpose of writing in Catalan, why would they prefer a keyboard that hasn't been specificaly dessigned for writing in Catalan (the Spanish), before one that has been dessigned specificaly for that purpose? In Spain and Andorra, it is different: Spanish keyboards are the "default". They're available in stores, etc. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
