Apple Shipping Misprinted MacBook Replacement Keyboards
An article on digg.com points to a possible misprint on replacement MacBook keyboards. The left parentheses symbol above the "9" on the keyboard is marked as a right parentheses.

Although the key itself is said to function perfectly well, it's an odd printing error that others commenting on the article claim to have experienced for themselves.
Not the end of the world, but it's a little strange and I've never seen an error quite like this in my years of owning the following Apple laptops: PowerBook 145B, PowerBook 150, PowerBook 5300C, clam shell iBook, iBook G3, iBook G4 and currently a white MacBook.
If you've had a similar experience or have any comments or suggestions, let us know.

The "9" key looks just like the "9" key on my german layout keyboard here. I was somehow puzzled (Where's the problem?), until I saw the "*" on the "8" key (Germans have the left paranthesis there). Maybe some mixture of key caps during assembly...
