I just noticed that someone physically switched the F1 and F11 keys on my 12in Powerbook Keyboard. After talking with my college room mates I'm sure they didn't do it, which means that someone at Apple tech must have done it when I sent in my Powerbook for repair.

While this doesn't bother my computer at all, its just kind of annoying to have a key out of place. So I attempt to move the keys back? Or will it just be an annoyance the rest of my life?

You can just pop the key caps off and switch them. The screws to remove the keyboard are under F1 and F11, so they probably just got put on backwards. A little sloppy, but not that big of a deal.

Well now that makes sense. I was not aware that they screw were under F1 and F11. This actually makes me feel a lot better. You know, now that I don't think someone was screwing with my mind.

You should probably get an Apple tech to fix the keys(I know, sounds dumb)... because if I remember correctly the little clips break easily.

At least call Apple beforehand and they might send you extras.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
