jmwking old hand Registered: 27/02/2003 Posts: 777 Loc: Washington, DC metro	Windows key? I still use my trusty, clicky, heavy IBM PS/2 keyboard from the early '90s. And I have three spares I, um, liberated from one of our offices: "Wouldn't you like a nice new, clean keyboard?" No Windows key shortcuts, but a great weapon of self defense. (And a nice pen and screwdriver holder across the top edge.) -jk

If you ever feel the need to own such a keyboard with a Windows key take a look here: http://www.pckeyboard.com/customizer.html All the look and quality (and noise) of those old IBMs, but with Windows keys as well. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

But this way I can just whip the mouse cursor over to the bottom right. It's a very quick motion, useful when there's something I need right at that moment. What I wish is there were some way to change a program so that it doesn't respond to the "minimize all" command. I don't want Winamp on my second monitor to minimize with everything else. _________________________ Matt
