Funny, UK keyboards are just as bad ... my L100 has a UK keyboard so the 
pound sign is weird, the " sign is in the wrong place and whatnot ... I 
guess its a good thing, I can touchtype so it doesn't annoy me but it 
confuses the absolute hell out of people I show it to who try to do 
anything except straight typing with it (and who can't touchtype) ...

Umm ... what the heck is a MAITAI? Speaking of which I can't think of any 
symbol on a character that looks like an umbrella ...

I find the width of my L100 nice when I put it into virtual 800x600 and let 
it scroll ... does the L3 do that?

I did?!?! I can't imagine I'd ever say that. SHOUT at it in Japanese maybe 
but speak quietly? NEVER! ;-)
