Hi Doug & Ron & All Listers,

    Reminds me of what we used to do to the "unenlightened"  who used Texas
Instrument TI-xx calculators in high school... (unlike those of us who had seen
the Light of RPN :) hehehe)

   We would open the case... empty all the keys .... then put them back in while
watching out for the "unenlightened" owner hehehe :)

   'course we never let our HP calculators out of our sight... those buggers
were expensive back in the '70s (see Tim?  No apostrophe! hehehe )

Art "Merry Christmas and Happy Chanakah (I can't spell it!) " Bahrs

I had a similar experience while working on a user's PC keyboard and popped
off some of the keys. I replaced them and forgot about it. Several weeks
later she asked me why her home PC used the ALT key for certain functions
but the one in the office used CTRL. I told her she was crazy, but not in so
many words. Needless to say I was eating my fair share of crow after she
showed me that she indeed was right. Of course then I put the ALT and CTRL
keys back where they belonged.
