With WebTV if I wanted to put an ® all I needed to do was press "alt" + r, and it was done.
Here I either have to hunt up the character map, select the ®, copy and paste it, or, hunt up the 4 digit code, engage the num lk, press "alt", then the four digit code, and be sure to remember to disengage the num lk. before trying to type normally, cause if you don't disengage it all the "keypad" letters come out as numbers.
In so many ways this $1000.00 laptop is simply a 10 step way of doing what was a one step process with the $129.00 WebTv, and, on top of it, the laptop has consistantly poorer, more obscure instructions to get you through the extra, unnecessary steps.
I am not going to go into the trouble I've had with my printer and scanner.
