I never used NumLock until I got a laptop. Use it all the time now...

Numlock is really useful, especially if you’re on a shared system and some people like to 10 key numbers and others like to use those as arrows. Scroll lock on the other hand...

You mean NumLock is useless in that you never turn it off, right? :)

it was there before dedicated arrow keys were put on the keyboard and the number keys had to do double duty
