Howdy all,
Maybe this has been around since the beginning, but I just found this to be
fascinating.
I am alot older than many of you, and grew up using a manual, no I did not
say electric, typewriter.
When you pushed the shiftlock, or in this new age the Caps lock key, when
you hit the a key you got the A key. The same help true, if you hit the 1
key you got the exclamation key. If you hit the capslock key in this
computer era and press the 1 key, you do not get the exclamation key, but if
you press the shift key then you do. Is there an explanation for this?
This does not bother me at all, but I just like to try to understand things.
I know, it is "the getting older" in me.
Thanks,
Morey
