Mine does handstands and backflips. I also taught it to jungle 3 chainsaws and tap-dance while singing the theme from Titanic. What can yours do?  ------------------ Yes of course I respect your bloody opinion. |

Mine only makes me food. When I press it, it reads my mind and instantly produced whatever food I'm thinking of. Of course, there are drawbacks. My friend hadn't been warned about this, and evidently was thinking about crap when he hit the button and well, you can imagine the mess... ------------------ |

Mine makes the Pacers win every time i press it. I hope to remember to press it Sunday when we play the knicks. How do you think the Pacers won 11 games in a row? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Miles_Power (edited 05-27-99).] |

It lights up a cool little light on your keyboard! Maybe if I press it rapidly enough, I can give myself an epileptic siezure! My friend's scroll lock however, turns people into little imps. Ow! Take that pitchfork out of my ass damnit!  |

Seriously: The Scroll Lock key on keyboards is basically obsolete now, but back in the days when DOS ruled the PC it had a function. I think what it did was, in programs with scroll bars, it allowed you to scroll the scroll bar (instead of moving the cursor) with the arrow keys. (In case you didn't know, not everybody had mice then.) I believe Windows 95 rendered this key obsolete (from what I remember it even functioned this way in Windows 3.x). ------------------ |
