Has anyone else noticed that the "M" key on the Al powerbooks, is not really an "M" at all, rather an inverted "W".... seriously, on my Ti the M key was obviously fabricated as an M with it's own unique serif. But on the Al, it's quite obviously an upside down W.
people ruin everything....

Neither do I, but thats neither here nor there. Seriously, what is the small 0 on the lower right hand corner of the M key for? Please enlighten.

M.........Mmmmmmm! That's funny! it IS rather different?!?

What font is the keyboard, looks like the "M" is different.

And as far as nice from Pamelah...."Rotsa-Ruck!"
I think it miiiiiieeeght be a canadian thing?? Not sure, some are nice, some are not, some are nice but have a rather harsh sense of humor like what might be the case here....

Take it with a grain of salt and call me in the moornin.

HaaaaaaaaaHA!!!
(MacAddict Reviw of 17" PB) The keys are solidly responsive, have a good range of travel, and are easy to read—except for that weird upside-down-W between the N and the comma.
I knew I wasn't nuts..

this is too funny b/c I thought I was the only one that noticed the W/M thing and I just chalked it up to me being anal.
