Hah! I consider those to be completely worthless! I've never found a single Windows PC of any brand on which the hibernate functions worked reliably, and I never turn off my PC in the first place. > However, I wish the power down key wasn't right next to the wake up key ;-) I wish the keys that are on a standard 102-key keyboard would be left in their exact standard positions and the additional keys simply put somewhere else. The keyboard I'm typing this on presently has 6 key caps pulled off so that I don't accidentally press the keys I don't need, the ones that have been moved into the positions formerly occupied by other keys. On this keyboard the Sleep/Wake Up/Power keys were put where the Scroll Lock/Print Screen/Break keys normally would be, and those last three keys were put where the Insert/Home/PageUp keys normally would be, which bumped those keys down where the Delete/End/PageDown keys should be, which keys were stuck in the empty space above the arrow keys. After weeks of hitting the Scroll Lock instead of Home, I pulled the key caps off, and now get along just fine. And the keyboard doesn't work with my Belkin KVM switch, so I really have to replace it, in any case. Sigh. -- David W.
