I think the reason many techies hate the capslock key can be summed up in three letters: A O L I never had anything against in until the cyclic floods of new AOL users showed up (for example, every December when another wave of people got their first computer). It only takes a few messages TYPED IN REALLY OBNOXIOUS CAPS MODE to cause hatred to be directed as much at the innocent key as the service and newbie themselves.

But I'm surprised by how much some techies seem to view that key with disdain or even unadulterated hate... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
