I love the occasional self-inflicted wound just like the other guy. So today I decided to enjoy one... Only to descover that  it's not as much fun as I thought it would be. And now, I'm in a world of hurt.

I enabled the Colemak layout and decided to learn how to type on it. Except the lack of sleep cought up to me and when I woke up the screen was locked. Since I only learned four of the key positions before falling asleep, I have a seriousness problem unlocking the computer.

The bigger issue is that the computer was manufactured for use in Japan so the keys are arranged differently that traditional english keyboards. I can find many layouts of the Colemak keyboard on the Internet but none for a Japanese keyboard. Can anyone posessing one of these computers help me document the Colemak layout please? I believe it is already installed on the Mac but is not enabled. If not, download and installation instructions can be found here: colemak.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mac

Thanks,
Andrew

Almost two hours every possible key combination later... I finally got it.

Thanks,

Or one of those poems that are mnemonic for the digits of pi...

	Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
	In mystic force and magic spelling
	Celestial sprites elucidate
	All my own striving can't relate
