I hate those split keyboards! Took *forever* to get used to the thing. I haven't seen the new keys yet, so I don't know what you guys about. And I have seen worse key combinations than Ctrl alt delete on some PC games...
LMAO! Sir Tainly that is so wrong! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [ 05-09-2002, 12:06 PM: Message edited by: Redblueflare ]

What's worse is that for some reason the sensitivity of these keys is much greater than any of the others, so you only have to brush and your desktop appears. I've almost been at the stage of ripping these keys off my keyboard before now!! Anyway, what's all this talk about people using CTRL-ALT-DEL? Why would you possibly need to use that?

I actually like these new keyboards *ducks as the rotten fruit is thrown*. They really speed things up if you can't be bothered to go to the START menu. Since I am a really fast typer and generally type A LOT for my essays, I know where all the keys are, so I don't get confused like some *ahem* 'oldies' *cough*Ziroc*cough

I agree. Best keyboards in the world were the old IBM ones that click when you pushed the key down. Alas, those days are gone.
What I really hate about that windows key is when I'm playing Diablo II and I press alt to see the items on the ground, sometimes I accidentally press the windows key and it takes me back to the desktop and I have to go back into the game. Very bad when there are monsters around.

What I really hate about keyboards is that some of them don't have home-key markers - the little bumps on the F and J keys. Fine for the 'hunt & peck' brigade, but not so fun for touch-typists. They give us those at work and expect us to churn out correspondence with no errors - DUH! Mine has blu-tak stuck on the home keys so I don't have to look at the keyboard before I start typing

I really like laptop keyboards - that's partly the reason I bought one instead of a PC. Along with the sharper screen and portability, of course [img]smile.gif[/img]

Always keep that utility shortcut on the desktop to customize the keyboard. When I play games I move the Windows key to the "back" button that I never use anyway. Oldie here as well, I use the alt-direction keys instead!
By remapping it , you can avoid that. Espacially when hitting alt to find loot on the ground in many games and boom, you switch to desktop...
