You should try French keyboards. Not only is the punctation out of place, but so are most of the letter keys. You know how English keyboards have the QWERTY setup? Well, on the French models, it's AZERTY (or something like that, it's been awhile), and a lot of the other keys are changed around too. Furthermore, French has certain letters that can have different kinds of accents over them, like "�" and "�", for example, and I seem to remember that some of those made it onto their keyboard as well. I remember being in an Internet caf� in Paris and nearly running out of time to send a e-mail because I couldn't find the blasted "@" symbol to go in the address. Sheesh.

Despite this and various other language-related difficulties, I love France, but I must admit, I was glad to get back to what for me is a normal keyboard. :)
