European keyboards

Okay, perhaps this topic is getting tiresome, but I'm sitting here in the "internet cafe" of  quasi-home, quasi-conference center, and I'm typing at my top speed, and thankful that this is an American keyboard.  Except when I look down, I notice that many of the keys i type don't quite match their labels.    So for example, I press the "z" key and I get a "y;" the quotation mark key is labeed with a "a" with an accent grave (I can't find that key on this keyboard to demonstrate!) and when you press "+" you get an exclaimation point!   It's totally an American keyboard labeled in the European way...someone must have changed the settings on this keyboard.  Weird, huh?  Good thing I have the American keybaord pretty much memoried.  Hooray for that typing class in ninth grade!   But if I look down, I get all screwed up. 

Last thing about keyboards for the curious:  the Dutch use the US keyboard also.  My Dutch host informed me that there are no special characters in Dutch.
