As I am in Saudi Arabia, I've yet to see a keyboard without them. My point is that keyboards are not expensive and if you only need 2 or three I would be happy to buy them for you and send them. I believe I can find a noname keyboard for around $10 U.S. Bernard Hobby [log in to unmask] Al-Yamamah College, Riyadh ----- Original Message ----- From: "LLTI-Editor" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 12:31 AM Subject: #7742 Arabic keyboard overlay > --- Forwarded Message from Jack Burston <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.1.0.040913 > >Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2004 11:03:23 -0500 > >Subject: Arabic keyboard overlay > >From: Jack Burston <[log in to unmask]> > >To: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum > <[log in to unmask]> > >In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> > > Dear Colleagues, > > I'm writing to see if anyone can recommend a keyboard overlay for Arabic on > a standard PC QWERTY keyboard.
