when i lived in xxcarol's area back when we joined fidonet, we had installed a
number of computers with networking and printers in a law firm... i don't
remember the exact number but it was a decent sized contract so let's call it
50 systems... in the initial week, we they were getting used to the systems
and installing all their software, we fielded several calls a day, generally
from the typing pool, about the ANY key... after several days of this, i was
told, "go over there and solve the problem once and for all."

on my way over to their location, i stopped in at one of the local drug stores
to pick up some supplies for the task at hand... when i arrived on site, i was
pretty much by myself as they were all out having their lunch break... about
an hour later i was leaving the location, mission accomplished... how? every
computer keyboard had a nice golden "ANY" on the space bar curtesy of the
letter transfer kits i had picked up at the drug store O:) :lol:

shiny thing!"
... Beware the do-gooders. They'll screw it up with best of intentions.
