1. I've never noticed that key, have never pressed it and will never press it because I don't care about stuff like that.
2. I'm afraid of pressing keys I don't know, because I'm afraid I'll break something in the computer.
3. I have pressed all the keys on my keyboard at least once, and that one does nothing.
4. I wish my keyboard wasn't cluttered with scary and/or useless keys, like that one.
5. I use it all the time! It has a function in Excel and... uh... probably lots of other programs.
6. I miss operating systems and/or programs where the Scroll Lock key had a real function. The good old days when you had to learn how to use a computer.

I fall firmly into the useless keys category.

Unnecessary lighting, eh?

4 for me I guess. Only time I have ever pressed it is to turn it back off after accidentally hiting it lol

Also being able to quote posts seems to be broken.

@Tcoat's using some sort of unicode back-tick instead of a standard apostrophe. I had to switch to chrome to quote him.

Definitely 6.

Just using phone like always. Shouldn’t be anything weird going on.

I can't quote it. Change shouldn't to should not. I'll be able to quote it in Firefox.

Hey, welcome home!

So, my motherboard shit the bed last night. While doing some troubleshooting to limit what could be wrong with it, I bent some of the pins on the CPU socket.

Luckily it was ordered on Amazon Prime, and while chatting with the customer service, they asked "well was it dead before the pins were bent?" So me being the honest guy that I am, I told the truth and said "yes" to which they replied "ok, no worries. What address should we send the replacement board to? After receipt, you have 30 days to return the defective board, or else we'll charge the card that made the original purchase for the additional board".

Amazon Prime is now a service that I will have for life. They easily could have told me to do one after hearing that the CPU socket pins got bent, which is what just about every other retailer would have done.

Edit: they also gave me one day shipping for the replacement. I mean that's something I pay for with prime anyhow, but they also could have said "lol u can wait until next week for a replacement m8". Instead of delivering one within 16 hours of submitting a replacement request.

Amazon returns/general customer service is pretty damn awesome from everything I've heard. As far as having a middle man goes, Amazon does it right.
