Who cares about Hebrew markings on the keyboard? For all I care my keyboard
could be missing the English markings either - I never look at it anyway.

And don't tell me "you can type blindly because you have years of experience".
I don't have much Hebrew typing experience in Hebrew. But after writing only
a couple of reports in Hebrew in my previous job (in MS-Word, initially), I
already remembered the locations of all the keys. It's not that hard,
especially if you're not a scared newbie. Not to mention that most computers
sold in Israel *do* have Hebrew markings on them... (strangely, my Compaq
keyboard does not, by the way, so I speak from experience saying that it's
not so hard to type without Hebrew markings).

Besides, to read Hebrew, you'd obviously not need any sort of keyboard
support ;)
