In America they use a # to denote a number where as we would use No.1 or No.2. etc.
MacBooks have an American keyboard.
Why don't Macbooks have a # key?
To produce a # you have to press ALT + 3 but it's not shown on the keyboard, I had to look it up online to find it. Why? Why no # key on an American keyboard?

I do!
A # is very important.

Pro There's a # key on my keyboard. It's Shift-3. What do you have on your keyboard in that position?
FYI, shifting the numbers on the top row of keys, 1 through 0, produces: !@#$%^&*()

My shift + 3 is a £.
Shifting the number on my top row produces !@£$%^&*()
I_Am_Xenon
Pro Hmm... same as mine, but with £ instead of #. I'd have expected that the £ would have been where I have the $. After all, why would you need the $ sign in the UK? Most strange.
LandersUK
We have the $ key as it's used in some programming.

Blah blah blah...
At least I don't have to use Windows, I never see the blue screen of death, I have no need for a virus checker, everything I use is compatible without needing drivers or fourteen other discs and all the features are original and not stolen from other companies!
ajnspencer
Pro Actually there are now Mac viruses, I was reading on a nerd forum the other day.
Although having said that I like XP, havent had a blue screen for as long as I can remember, havent been hit by a serious virus ever and most things these days dont need driver discs 
Yeah, there have been viruses for a while. But most of them, you have to actively install.
