i have been heaping a lot of praise on my thinkpad x31 recently. i just noticed a friggin stupid feature: there are 2 special keys right beside the arrow keys that seem to be intended to go back and forward in the browser, respectively. (never mind the stupid access ibm button, at least i don’t have a shopping or email button). these buttons are not only fluff, they are harmful. if you are editing within a web form (i bet you do that as often as i do), you just have to hit the wrong button, and your form is gone. who comes up with such “innovations”?
