[K12OSN] Numlock

[Andrew Fisk]

OK try this

How_to_Get_the_NumLock_Key_to_Stay_On.html

-- just a little aside -- given that hitting the numlock key isn't  
beyond even those folks yelling in the hallway! 

I had an "executive" secretary berate for "misprograming" her  
computer -- all her lower case letters were capitals and her upper  
case letters were lowercase -- she would finish a letter,  select all  
and change case to make things right.  She was much happier once  
after I told her to very carefully press the caps lock key -- just once.


Thanks
