Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys
Slatterz writes "After a year's research, Lenovo boffins have decided the time is right to install larger Delete and Escape keys on their updated ThinkPad laptop T400s range. While it is a small change, it is fairly radical to tinker with an area of hardware which has been largely unchanged since the 19th century. What convinced them to make the size-change was doing some tests on users to see which keys they use the most. They found that on average, people used the Escape and Delete keys 700 times per week, yet those were the only non-letter keys that Lenovo hasn't made any bigger." The article says Caps Lock may be next on the agenda; death is too good for Caps Lock.
Yeah and what color hair do they have? And what town do they live in? Are any of them allergic to shellfish!? Did they like the movie The Green Mile, or do they prefer The Shawshank Redemption? THESE ARE ALL THINGS I MUST KNOW!

and, more importantly, reduce calls during your off hours because a user locked out his/her account due to CAPS LOCK being on when entering a password.
Here's a nickel, kid. Go get yourself a real operating system. One whose password fields pop up a little icon to indicate that Caps Lock is active.
