You're kidding right... Which one? I couldn't find a keyboard without those, so I bought cool keyboards version with, penguins and "Linux" instead of the M$ keycaps. All Unix keyboards have them, even if renamed. My Sun keyboard has 2 "diamond" keys that are really meta, and one "Alt" (plus AltGr and Compose), buy most PC's have "Alt" on the meta keys :( > I was hoping to use that solution too, but, no dice.
