JUNE 28TH IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! smile.gif

I HAVE BEEN TRYING UNSUCCESSFULLY TO LOG IN TO THE FORUM ALL DAY BECAUSE THE MESSAGE KEEPS COMING BACK:

"LOGIN UNSUCCESSFUL - CHECK YOU DON'T HAVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY ON!"

BUT I REFUSED TO BE BULLIED mad.gif AND KEPT TRYING!!!!!.

THEN I REMEMBERED THAT IF YOU USE THE SHIFT KEY WITH THE CAPS LOCK ON YOU CAN GET LOWERCASE. AS THIS ONLY SHOWS UP AS "********", I THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AND DOES NOT CONTRADICT THE SPIRIT OF CAPS LOCK DAY.

HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY EvERYONE!

That reminds me of Archy and Mehitabel. Archy was a cockroach who typed by jumping on the relevant typewriter keys. But he couldn't do capitals because that would have required pressing 2 keys at once. Then one morning when he started typing, he got a pleasant surprise. In his words:

I THOUGHT THAT SOME HISTORIC DAY
SHIFT KEYS WOULD LOCK IN SUCH A WAY
THAT MY POETIC FEET WOULD FALL
UPON EACH CLICKING CAPITAL
AND NOW FROM KEY TO KEY I CLIMB
TO WRITE MY GRATITUDE IN RHYME ...

But his happiness is short-lived. For more info see:

He could just have turned on Sticky Keys.
