Seeing all the griping about topics on this list, I hope I'm not too off base
posting this here. I'm don't think there's a "foreigners who want to buy US
computers to use in their home country" list. The advice I've received so far
has been very helpful to keep her away from the dark side.

Are, You are right about the keyboard layout. Whereas US/English keyboards are
qwerty, she told me that they have different keys in those positions. Isn't
there a location setting in sometype by touch so she wouldn't have to look at
the keys.

I told her that the documentation that comes with the computer comes in
different languages, was I correct in saying this?
If the Mac docs only come in English, she won't/can't buy.

Thanks to everyone who has responded.
