Quirk? QUIRK?!?! Aargh! All I can say is "Thank you, IBM, for
doing it right!" Who the he** asked Redmond to "supliment" the
standard keyboard design with this poop (ah, I answered my own
question -- I used the word "standard" <snicker>)? There are
_other_ OS's that people use on their Thinkpads. And there's a
keyboard shortcut for every one of those stinkin' Windows keys
(CTL-ESC and SHFT-F10), if you choose to use one of Redmond's
offerings. Thank goodness for keyboard remapping utilities in NT5
(my desktop PC at work has 'em -- you know how many times I've
gotten a context menu reaching for CTRL on this @#$ thing before
remapping them?).
Not at all flaming you, Mercer. Just the "Evil Empire" for trying to
push its view of the world on the entire world (well, more for
hardware mfgr's for going along with it, I suppose) <g>
