I consider this key to be WAAAAAAY more trouble than it's worth.the ratio of times-I-accidentally-hit-it-and-screw-up-a-whole-sentence-before-realizing-it to times-I-actually-need-to-use-it is at least 10 to 1.I am considering prying it off and filling in the hole with putty (PASUE).does anybody feel me?

    I use shift+insert to paste sometimes instead of cntl+v. Gotta switch things up once in a while.

    No "insert" key on my Mac. I don't even know what it's supposed to do.

    yes. i hate that shit. i'm better at typing while looking at the screen now, though, so I usually catch it before it's a problem.

  • yeah and what about the scroll lock. that little fucker gets its own light.

    That guy's just a reminder of olden days. The only time I ever use it is in Excel when I want to scroll the page without changing my selection.

    The nerd in me would just like to say.

    That is all.

  • In case you weren't aware, chain mail does not stretch. You cannot put it on one arm at a time like a fabric shirt. Instead lay the chain mail flat on the ground, bend over and thrust both arms into the bottom of the shirt. Work your hands through to the end of the sleeves and then begin to stand-up. Get your head through the neck hole and let the chain mail slide down your body. If you have long hair, make sure to tie up your hair before you wear the chain mail. Otherwise it could get tangled in your hair. You might feel a bit claustrophobic when first wearing the chain mail... but don't worry you won't get stuck. PLEASE wear a shirt or some other garment underneath the chain mail. The edges of the rings where they are joined together are a bit rough and can scratch you.

    That's because it is a useless key, and Macs are designed to be efficient.

    a.k.a. I don't like PCs, especially the damn virus I have that restarts the computer at will.
