Hi! I am a swedish student in computer sciense. I did some googling but with no luck so I post it here. I just bought a used Mac computer wich is a couple of years old. It has the swedish keyboad layout wich make it unsuitable for programming. Since I have a very tight economy I can't afford bying a new US-keyboad, I hope you understand. Therefore I wan't help for finding good stickers for turning my swedish mac keybord into a US one ( stickers that does not wear out but if they are resonably priced I bye two sets). My keyboad is an equivalent to this one but is older (the ordinary big mac keybord). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-MB110B-A-Keyboard/dp/B000VLYEL4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270989657&sr=1-1 A tip. Lately I've found out that amazon.co.uk generally is better for browsing rewiews for computerbooks and such since I find those reviews generally to be less positive. I really would appriciate people giving me tips on different alternatives. /Olof |

Well there would be a couple of things you can do: 1: you can always look around for a garbage laptop that doesn't work, and replace the keys with both. 2: If you type without looking at your keyboard, just switch the setting for you key board to US-English, and just memorize which keys are what like you would normally do if it was a US keyboard. 3: Check a near-by apple store. They might be able to replace the keys them selves or they might have stickers and or know where you could get some. 4: Ebay.com or Kijiji.ca |

You should be able to switch the settings to US keyboard layout, then get keyboard stickers to cover the Swedish letters. |

I already know how to use a mac, that means you don't really have to tell me that I can easily change the keyboard layout and such. I know this. I also know that I've tried to change the keys on an old keyboard of mine, resulting in a broken keyboard which had to throw away. I just want an answer to this. Where can I find good stickers? Anyone? |
