Not the greatest system on earth but it's in a like-new state and for $250 I could't resist Everything was going good until I actually started using the computer, testing a bit of everything I found two problems: I can't for the life of me find the âatâ and âexclamationâ characters. I have searched the web, read forum after forum and spent a lot of time typing key combinations. Thought I could ask you Mac gurus if you knew where I could find such keys. I'm running an american english keyboard but a latin american mapping. I can't even change the keyboard language Any help will be much appreciated. _________________ Future RS guru. Ride the world!

I tried alt-2, alt-q, alt-abcdefghijklm, then I tried the combination of option+alt+everysinglekeyonthisdarnkeyboard and I can't find either.... But thanks for the almost instant reply (Add exclamation character which I can't find on my keyboard). _________________ Future RS guru. Ride the world!

Was the system wiped before you purchased it? _________________ Thom McGrath - @tekcor Web Framework Architect, Real Software, Inc.

I can't change the keyboard settings or the language on this one 10.6.3 Thanks for your help (add exclamation character) _________________ Future RS guru. Ride the world!
