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?
Scroll lock I've never used (I didn't even know what it did until I had pushed it by accident the other day while I was using Excel...). The SysReq is doubled up on the PrintScreen button, which I do use regularly. No idea what SysReq is though...
