keyboard trouble

[ernokaikkonen 0]

A rather silly question: with the american keyboard setup, how do you get this character(in MSDOS): ~

I'm having trouble with another computer, had to boot with a bootdisk and it loaded the american keymap, I'm lost.

To the left of the number 1 on the top row, is the key that has the grave accent ` as the lower case, and the tilde ~ as the upper case.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Here's another stupid question - is the correct pronunciation til-DEE, or til-DA? I've heard both.

According to Webster:
Pronunciation: 'til-d&
Function: noun

Makes it more a til-duh (of course, if your DA is pronounced that way, then it's the second one).

Yeah, DA is duh fore me, but I like that nomenclature - I think I'll use it on forums when I want to say "duh" - I'll just say d&, as in:

d&, I am such an idiot.
