Love them pics. Especially that Arizona Saguaro cactus.  I know a couple of buddies I'm going to pass these on to.  ;D

Actually, unless you're controlling a mainframe computer, the Sys Req key is the most useless...

...since it will do absolutely NOTHING on any PC...

...unless you're running a particular compile of i386 Linux that has the "Magic SysRq Key" option enabled...

That key (Prt Scr) is the one I default for screen capture (when I had a fully functional PC; I'm still restoring this one -- the reason you've been blessed with my commentary absence). I thought I may as well restore the print screen key to a simmilar usage.

I actually use the windows key quite often. Usually it's because I'm trying to recover from the FSX white screen after minimizing/maximizing it, but sometimes I'm just too lazy to click on 'start' with the mouse ;D
