  1. Ahh geek humor. As a techie, I love it! :-) especially the smite button.

  2. Thanks.

    Alas, it's the "Dammit" key that appears most often in the revolving pantheon of Scott Keys.

  3. Great -- and so easy to comprehend. I type so much that many of my keys have absolutely nothing on them.

  4. Oh very good....I've thought about covering my keys but worried they might stick. :-)

    Have a beautiful day.

  5. I would pay a king's ransom for that keyboard if only half of the buttons worked.

  7. Post pictures of your results! I'm curious to see what other people do with this. BTW, I usually use white drafting tape or Post-its.

    Actually more often, I tear keys out entirely. Usually the Numlock key, because I tend to clip it when I get going with the tenkey and turn the darn thing off. (I really don't understand putting a button on something that invalidates its existence with the clumsy swipe of a key).

    The "Shout" key was for my wife who uses CAD all day and sometimes forgets to disable Caps Lock when she IM's me.

  8. Ha! Ha! Ha! I LOVE that. There are days when I could certainly use those keys. I'll keep the customizing in mind. :D

    Thank you for the lovely comment on my lily.

  9. Love it! I wish I had thought of that when writing my thesis...

  10. I read about a little hack someone made: a program that runs in the background; every time you turn on CapsLock, it plays a random click from the late Billy Mays (OxyClean shouting guy) to remind you of what your sentences will "sound" like.

  11. Thanks Dianne and Anika! I didn't start doing this until I was out of school, but I rather think it would've helped had I thought of it.

    Wow Kevin... that... that would certainly work. And with repeated offenses the ShamWow guy shows up?
