I always dread when people come to me with their computer problems, because I, 99% of the time, cannot help them. I often say, "I'm a writing major. All I know is Word."

So get this...one of my favorite EDS Lab guys came to the desk and goes, "I have a question." My face scrunched up in an "Uh oh" look and I said, "I'll try to help you." (Emphasis on try.) He goes, "I'm using Word" (my face brightened up) "and when I insert things, the letters type over what I just wrote." I was all over that! It was the insert button! THE INSERT BUTTON! I know everything there is to know about that blasted key! I told him about the insert button and pointed it out on the keyboard. "Just click on it once."



As he was leaving to go back to his computer, I said, "Wow, I actually helped someone. I can't believe I was actually able to help someone." He laughed and I swooned.

The insert key is seriously purely for annoyance, because no one actually uses it and they put it right next to the backspace so that you hit it all the time. Stupid keyboard makers. And bravo to helping someone!
