Yes, deeming from your image, I think we have
the same type of keyboard.
For many years I had a lovely Sun keyboard but
step by step it disintegrated and now I have
a mundane keyboard, along with the Microsoft
flag, and even the Swedish char layout!
Hideous - but I suppose it won't matter, as
I know where the US layout keys are by know.
Perhaps I should do like in the Angelina Jolie
movie, where the dude sprays his keyboard in
a uniform color. I did that myself with
a bicycle trailer when I created my new
office [1] so I don't see why it shouldn't
work again.

... really? You do that? Far out :) Does that
have a name? Let me reveal my inexperience by
admitting I never heard of it. Myself, my claim
to fame is my dynamic signature, below - cute,
to say the least :)
Speaking of keys and stuff I never heard of,
the AltGr key ows its name from the following
fragment of computer history:
AltGr was originally introduced as a means
to produce box-drawing characters, also
known as pseudographics, in text
user interfaces. [2]
Facts - for fans! (Hey, reading that, I'm
almost starting to *like* the key...)
