Hi Erik,
You said: Mine was bought in February of 2008 from apple direct USA.
I know, cause I bought it from the company I work for. So, that's
mighty strange. I've also done all the opperating system updates and
even a firmware update since I got the thing.
TK: Very interesting indeed. You must have got one from the wrong
pile. I did actually have that happen here as well. I purchased a
MacBook for our school Yearbook in January, and when it arrived, it
had Tiger on it and had the old configuration of fn keys. Software
and firmware updates would not change anything as it's actually a
hardware configuration change.

HI ERIK,
YOU WROTE: Hmmmmm. On my macbook, fn f11 does nothing, and fn
f12 does something mighty strange but it doesn't bring up the
volume.
On mine fn f4 and fn f5 do do the volume. I just tried it because
the volume on my macbook is a source of minor irritation to me and
I thought f11 and f12 might be a fix.
TK: IN AND AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2007, APPLE CHANGED THE KEYBOARD
LAYOUT ON THE MACBOOKS SO THAT F11 AND F12 PERFORMED THE VOLUME
FUNCTIONS. IF YOUR MACBOOK WAS PURCHASED PRIOR TO THIS TIME, THEN
THE VOLUME FUNCTIONS WERE MANAGED THROUGH F4 AND F5.
