Just curious - Does anyone use the ScrollLock key?
I have vague memories of using Scroll Lock with Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets, but other than that it just confuses me when I accidentally push it.

So I'm wondering, as I look at my Dell Mini 9 netbook keyboard that is without a Scroll Lock or SysRq key, whether they have any modern day usage.

Or, even more interesting, does anyone here actually use those keys?

I think I used SysRq with a terminal emulator for a mainframe, but it's been so long I don't remember. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
