I complained about using a funny keyboard here, and Paul Skidmore wanted to see a picture of it. This is the Brazilian keyboard at the school. I don't know if they use this all over the world or only in Portuguese-speaking countries or what, but it takes some getting used to. The most obvious change is the Ç in place of the semicolon/colon. That doesn't affect much, though I do use semicolons more often than you'd think. The biggest annoyance is the apostrophe/quotes. Can you find it? It's waaay up in the corner, next to the 1. I don't know how many times I've typed a tilde instead of an apostrophe. A close second place is the return (Enter) key. It's shaped all funny to make room for the extra keys, and you have to stretch farther to hit it.
I can see how it's handy for typing in Portugese, though. It's very helpful when I want to type words like açaí or Guaraná.
Yes, that's really it for today.

Wow. That's a funny looking keyboard. I have just read all of your blog postings and sounds like everyone is working really hard. Keep up the good work and we still praying for everyone there. Nothing much is happening here, but it's all good.
