I would advise you to buy a more recent Apple computer and try MacOSX.

That's the bug.
You've got two solutions:
- either you switch to an american keyboard,
- or you switch to a norwegian programming language (where we may
assume {} and [] are not used since they're so hard to type on a
norwegian keyboard).
Notice that on MacOSX you can easily activate a key-chord to switch
layouts, and they type the bracket you want, and switch back.
Otherwise, in emacs, you could map some other key to them, using key
translations. See: keyboard-translate
