I think the biggest crime of them all is how there is no where on the keyboard that displays the # symbol, which is commonplace on most standard PC keyboards.

What language are you in? The US-english one is shift-3: http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/images/overview-gallery2-20090828.png http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/images/overview-gallery2-...

  Judging by his profile (UK), Shift-3 for him is probably Pound. Unfortunately, that means something different in the UK than it does in the US, though for reasons not unrelated. UK keyboards have a separate key for #.

    "Pound" as in "Pounds Sterling" not "Pound" as in "Oglethorpe" I take it?

    Ah I didn't realise it was region specific. Yeah the alternative item underneath the 3 button is the symbol for pound sterling (£), the # symbol is a hidden extra.
