I would like to know when I missed the meeting when "they" decided to change the orientation of the Home Keys block on computer keyboard. It's damn near impossible anymore to buy a keyboard with the old standard three across, two down Home Key keyboard configuration. See here:
All you can find nowadays is some new design where the Delete key has been made twice the size and the Insert key is GONE. See here:
Why is this a problem? Well, Copy-N-Paste for us who grew up before Windows existed was always Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert, respectively. Old habits die hard. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are for wimps and newbies. I guess I'm going to need to start buying up all the MS Natural Keyboard Pro's I can possibly find. As far as I'm concerned that was the peak of keyboard innovation. Gotta have the split keys, and you gotta have the 3x2 Home Keys.
Somehow this is Microsoft's fault. I just can't figure out how.
