I know it isn't ideal to run peripherals off a usb hub, but nevertheless, I am. And now I have: a new ergonomic keyboard (which is raised at the wrist-rest side, rather than the "top" - seems even better than the ergonomic one i have at work), and my old mouse, both working.

Problem: either I have forgotten how, or it is harder on this version of windows, to install a keyboard pack. I have ENG - SF, DE- SF, FR -SF and ENG - UK (language - layout) options installed, but not ENG (Aus) - US, which is what I need for this peripheral. I'd accept ENG (UK) - US, tbh.

Wait. I might have successfully changed it. Test: y. Hooray, I have QUERTY. But will I be able to switch back easily? Whatever I did caused the tool-tray language and input selector box to disappear.

Also purchased: more picture hooks, a hole punch, several lever arch folders, and some more notebooks. Much rejoicing.
