Brian's Bits

I spend more time on my computer than anyone would care to admit. A good chunk of this time is spent in a text editor. I've developed this pretty nasty habit of accidentally bumping the "Insert" key (which then replaces text instead of inserting it), or hitting CapsLock and quickly throwing down text that I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT IN CAPS. I've also wondered what the deal was with the "Num Lock" key. Although it's probably handy on a laptop where you generally don't have a dedicated number pad, it seems a bit "much" to have one set of designated directional arrows, then, about 1 inch away having ANOTHER set of arrows which are toggled on. What gives? I also have discovered that there are keys that have no apparent function (such as the omnipresent "Windows" key on any OS other than Windows). Today, I set out to fix some of these problems...with a screwdriver.
I've removed all those "extra" keys from my keyboard, including: Insert, the "Windows" key (x2), Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Pause Break.
Now I'm typing on my ghetto-fabulous keyboard contraption. Now if I could only remove these lame integrated "Media and Internet" keys.
