Unfortuatnely newer keyboards do not all have the extended insert key
anymore nor, on some machines, a right windows logo key. And it
appears that the layout on the keyboards is not always the same
either when it comes to the extended keys.
I returned a Microsoft natural keyboard a couple of years ago because
it did not have the extended insert key in the sixpack anymore
either. That one had a doublesized delete key instead.
Last year we shoppedfor a new keyboard for me and when we found a
logitech wireless keyboard that still had all the keys in the classic
layout, we bought all three they had left. *g*
I hope you'll be able to find the keys and get used to the layout or
still be able to buy a classic keyboard somewhere.

Sorry-I should have said that the keyboard is full sized and not for a laptop.

Hi All,
My new Windows 7 machine was delivered this afternoon and it meant
that I got a new keyboard. The six pack keys on the new keyboard
are arranged differently from those of my old keyboard and there
doesn't seem to be an insert key in the six pack. The computer is a
Dell and I think the keyboard is as well. Instead of 3 columns
containing 2 keys each this keyboard has 2 columns of 3 keys each
. the leftmost column moving down is home, end, delete. The right
hand column moving from top to bottom has page up, page down, and
the bottom most is silent and JAWS says nothing with Insert 1 for
key identifier. Has anyone heard of this arrangement? Where might
the Insert key that was in the six pack on the old keyboard be on
the new one? It was a long afternoon and my brain is fried and I
can't remember where to look to get the brand and model number of
this keyboard.
I did check it out very briefly, before telling my tech it would do,
but he only said to see how typing on it felt and, like a moron, I
forgot to check out the layout of the keys
Thank you,
Margaret.
