Why do modern keyboards still have a Scroll Lock? And if you can manage an
answer to that, I think I can still win by following up by asking if that's so
important that we actually need a light to remind us which way this is toggled?
It's like vestigial hardware.
I'm not sure what I missed, but I'm still not sure what you're upset about.

THIS JUST IN: ANTI-GM RESEARCH DEFIES THE WORLDWIDE SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS THAT DECLARES GM SAFETY STRONGER THAN THE AGREEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SUCH RESEARCH IS FALSIFIED!
GASP!!!!

I use the Scroll Lock key for the Steam Overlay. I got tired of accidentally opening it when playing FPSes where I hold shift to walk/run and use TAB for things. Scroll Lock made since because it wouldn't conflict with anything.

Yeah, and we had multi config setups too! I hated that conventional memory issue. DOS v4 was horrible.

Took me a second to figure out what the hell you were talking about!
But I do know where the turn signal fluid goes.
Muffler bearings actually ARE real.

I'm still waiting for a job to come up to take advantage of this birthday-gifted left-handed screwdriver that none of my right-handed ones can handle.

Take it to Burger King to make an adjustment on the left handed whopper.
Ikea had a problem with this with their left handed allen keys as well.
