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.

NOBODY, absolutely NO one can improve on the IBM Model M. It is the absolute epitome of our technological renaissance, the baine of my roommate and simply the cats meow.

You will need it for Windows 7

Troll, go back to 1998. Windows has a LOT of other problems, and I consider it a faulty, broken OS, but XP and Vista crash on me about as often as Linux.
