Which is probably a good thing. Considering the amount of spam I get the @ sign ought to be behind 5 simultaneously pressed buttons

ääääää

However, when I type alt 148, instead of an "o" with dots, my post gets deleted! Ever heard of that one?

alt 0246 also doesn't give me "o", but at least it doesn't delete my post; it just jumps me up to the top of this post!

Make sure your "Number lock" button is active on your keypad.

I doubt they were Finns

ALT GR+2 gives you a nice @. ALT+0064 or ALT+064 will also give you
the same symbol.

Whenever I try to type in Swedish, I've found this combination the most helpful one

Ctrl+Alt+Del

Hey, I do that when I have to talk to my English family -

My problem is that I am 1/4 Finnish, 1/4 Swedish, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 English - but I like the Finnish 1/4 the best!

My laptop doesnt have a numeric pad, so the Alt+ doesnt work.

I use the Finnish Lexibar which works pretty good.

Do you have a number lock key? If you do, then the numeric pad is probably buried in the middle of your keyboard

On mine (IBM) it's written on the keys.

789 = 789
uio = 456
jkl = 123
m =0

That works, but it makes typing very slow having to hit num lock then alt+numbers and then hit numlock again and go back to typing

Easiest probably is to have them written them out first and then copy+paste.
