I do not know if you live in Europe or not, but read some French people
having similar complaints.  Given the quotation above, why they did not
select pc102 or pc105 is a mistery to me.

FYI this description has been enhanced, unstable now displays:
  The "pc102" and "pc105" models are versions of the pc101 and pc104
  keyboards, respectively, often found in Europe.  If your keyboard
  has a "< >" key (a single key engraved with both the less-than and
  greater-than symbols), you likely have a "pc102" or "pc105" model;
  if you choose "pc101" or "pc104" instead, your "< >" key might not
  work.

As I wrote in a separate thread, I believe that default value should
now be pc105, but that's another story.
