Keyboards

[Peter Brigham MD]

Presumably they wanted to have the pound sterling symbol more  
naturally available, so they swapped the sterling and the # mappings  
-- option-3 vs shift-3. It would have made more sense for them to have  
mapped the sterling symbol to shift-4, where the dollar sign is.
