The 'PrntScr' button: "Print Screen", will open that print page or automatically print whatever is on the page you're viewing, depending on your printer options setup.

So teh SysRq button is for nostalgia?

And the "Insert" key has caused me so many headaches... I'm going for backspace, I hit Insert, don't realize I did it and half my paragraph is gone.

I've been trying to use the number pad on the right of my computer to be hip, but I guess it's only for lefties and data entry.

When I was checking out keys, I pressed this one:


And it made my computer go to sleep.

I have no clue what scroll lock does. I turn it on and nothing changes.

Well, when I was new to computers I had no idea what the function keys did(those are the F1-12 keys). Now that I know what they do, it's neat because they are quick.

I just noticed, I have this button that says "Scroll Lock" but I have no idea what it does. I've even pressed it a few times and nothing has changed. I guess that could be considered useless. I'll look the button up later to read an explanation on that button.

I have a wireless keyboard and there is a button that looks like a gauge, but I don't know what it does.
