 Over here in austria and I quite honestly bet also in germany and a big
part of the swiss they are using german keyboards, with the z and the y
switched and the umlauts. And _yes_, I quite honestly doubt even that
90%. Do you really think so? Well, it might be great for programmers
even over her to use an english-keyboard layout (for all the special
characters like ()[] and so forth), but face the fact - something that
is common in the US is not neccesarily common all over the world. The US
is _not_ the world.

 Sorry, if this sounds rude. You see, we all know how good we are, don't
we? ;))  So I don't see a need for peting our shoulders....  And I think
that's the way Veronica feels, too. Just because she only critisizes she
isn't unfriendly with that. There is not always a time to congratulate
one - especially it sometimes is even considered unfriendly if you
congratulate one when talking with regulars...  At least over here.

 Sorry once again, for pointing that out that way.
