The direct participants were William the Conqueror and Edward the Confessor.
Edward was dead by then, it was Harold (another Harold, not Hardratha) who was king of ~England by 1066. Edward left no sons. Harold was Edwards brother-in-law, while William of Normandy(also distantly related) claimed to have been promised the throne on Edward's death. It wasn't so much the battle of Stamford Bridge that weakened the English army, rather the long forced march south.
It's ctrl-esc, and the same thing happens in counterstrike. And a lot of other games. Did you ever find a less drastic way to deactivate it?
Yeah - powertoys, and a whole load of 3rd party utils. Some of the annoying keys could be disabled in a shortcut, but I can`t remember which ones and I`m using.jp XP ATM so I can`t find out.

The lamy pens are great (I have 3 "Safari" ones) but the ink isn`t up to much - try to get hold of the refillable cartridge and use something with a bit more colour to it. My preference is for Parker penman permanent blue, but that`s being discontinued (UK). That`s with an italic nib though.

This never seemed to be a problem in the days of letterboxing. I guess geocaching has become a victim of its own success:-(.
Well I live near Dartmoor (the home of letterboxing). Apart from some issues with ground-nesting birds and organised (charity) letterbox trails (with clues to take you from one box to the next) there is still no problem with going off paths and hunting under rocks. In fact the national park authority seem quite in favour. It's all different this side of the Atlantic though.
Ammo boxes are not allowed as letterboxes on Dartmoor, as a lot of military training goes on and the army are concerned that poeple might not know the difference between an unexploded shell and an ammo box hidden under a rock. GPS is a luxury I might soon invest in - even with it you need to be able to read a map and use a compass.

In more detail just in case anyone cares: The BBC's account of the battle

Or 1 I used which made backspace narrower than a standard key and used the freed up space for a power key (win98). Except in win95 it was a BSOD key.
And the fancy HP keyboards without the bloated drivers have@up to 10 "crash" keys (in windows of course).
Some did (do?) I think system shock (1) did.
