Around here, there are alot of keyboards which have the slash/pipe key
moved from between the backspace and plus key to the right of the rshift,
which can get quite pissing when you blind-type a path under any dos-like
os.

There is also a variation on the position of the ACPI keys, some
manufacturers put them in line whit the F-keys and move the PS/SL/Pause
trio down near the ins/home/p.up - which together form a 3x3 array above
the cursor keys. One consequence of this is that the Ins key gets to the
position where the old del key was, which inturn leads to interesting
results for people that like to use the old-style
Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins/Shift-Del for copy/paste/cut. ;)
