That if you have a REAL operating system, you do not need those three f*&# keys to help you remind how big the M$ monopoly is.

About a month ago, i bought a keyboard second-hand for just 2 (!!) euro's. It types like an angel, it doesn't need to be rammed on (very light keys) and above all: It doesn't have windows keys !

I have the greatest keyboard in the world!

I think they should put a real linux on those pc's, but i'm glad it's something else than an M$ OS ... but linux is better than lindows.

You could just re-paint the Winblows key.

I yank them out and then stuff the holes with epoxy.  The damn things just got in the way when playing Quake.
