I actually have an original IBM Model M. Manufacture date of July 22nd, |
19 |
1987. And I use Windows on a regular basis. Yet, I get by without the |
20 |
windows key quite well. About the only two shortcuts I ever used were WIN+E |
21 |
and WIN+R, for Explorer and Run. It's not as useful of a key as many people |
22 |
think it is. It's actually more beneficial to those with disabilities, such |
23 |
as low or impaired vision. |
