    How can keyboards be so different?

    I recently bought a Satellite L300-08R and am feeling frustrated with how different this keyboard is compared to my older Desktop computer.

    I love playing a couple word games online (especially Wordracer) but am now having an awful time playing because of the differences in the keyboard. For instance, the space between the "L" key and the Enter key is an inch further away than on a regular keyboard. I wish I could somehow change that!

    I guess I'm just feeling really frustrated with it tonight.

    Are all Toshiba keyboards laid out the same way? I'm guessing there's no solution here. Too bad keyboards aren't, in some way, programmable, so that you can change the function of some keys... darn
