Should be interesting should the need to type one of these characters as a capital letter ever arise.

But I think international keyboards allow you to punch a key with the accent mark (or inverted one), the umlaut, or a tilde in combination with a letter. Those keys (save for the tilde) do not exist on keyboards here in the States at all. We have to do the alt + a 3 or 4 number combination to achieve these characters. Even if the actual keys don't exist, just the fact that motti's keyboard allows him to achieve these characters with only two keys punched is still a step up on how we have to do it here in the States.

I had a friend who had an international keyboard that had all those characters on it. It was a while back though.

Yep, and what sucks about it is that only the Wal-Mart price labels indicate that it's edited. So, if you buy it used at a record store, you won't know until you get it home. I bought a copy of Anthrax's "Return of the Killer A's" used at a local store and it turned out to be a Wal-Mart edit copy. They took it back as a result, which I was happy about. It was horrible to listen to "I'm the Man" edited. Travesty, I tells ya.
