That's "option," for us Mac users. :)
For reasons I still cannot comprehend, Apple decided that European users need an unusual keyboard configuration.
I have a powerbook and its keyboard does not say "option" on the 'alt' key. Instead it has some undeciferable figure on it that should mean "option". So I'm sorry I called it the 'alt' key, but I forgot the proper name at the time. ;-)

PS: Other noticeable differences: the ` is located to the left of the Z (there's a §/± key where it should be, which I've never used until now) and the return key is a slim vertical key that requires a lot of practice to hit and you always end up hitting the edge of the keyboard instead.
Oh, and it costs $100 and about 5 weeks to get a 'normal' keyboard.
