When I am King ... by bugarup2004-06-23 10:33:11
  Bah. by LionsPhil 2004-06-23 10:52:28
There's a ton of cruft that needs to be culled from PC-land.

In the keyboard arena, it's about time that relics such as SysRq, PrtSc and Break were blammed and/or renamed. (For example, PrtSc tends to actuall take screenshots these days...would it be so hard to change the keycaps? When was the last time you used SysRq? Do we REALLY need damn Windows keys? Which do you type more: ™ or the not symbol (¬)?)
