> and don't really see how one could mess up a laptop's keyboard

"What's with this ~` key? Nobody uses that, and it offends my designer sensibilities."

I had a Dell like that, and got used to typing $HOME and $(command) rather than ~ and `command`.

Fair enough. When I'm looking for a keyboard, I always try to make sure that at least the keys are all in the right place and are of the right size. (For example, I should not be able to accidentally hit '\' because some hippo thought the return key was too big.)
