So... Scroll Lock.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Well, sometimes when people at work press it on their machines by accident and get all confused, I use it to make me look like a technological wizard. Does that count?

Same here.

I've also used the Sys Rq for its original function (on an IBM 3xx0 terminal no less). It gave me minutes of pleasure being able to spam the minicomp's other user*. :D
