Do we really need the Number Lock key any longer?
It’s like an appendix, a vestigial key that had some function a long time ago.
No, we don’t need a NUM LOCK key. But hey, the iPads and other pads come with no keys at all! We won!
What we do need is a DUMB LOCK key to lock out the dummies who visit every thread to announce to other posters that “You don’t seem to understand...” etc, because they do understand everything.
NumLock? Yep, use it daily. Multiple times.
