    I have had a new laptop for some three months now. The FN Keys are reversed,set to media rather than legacy, and I keep meaning to go into the bios and switch them. Woo Hoo! Only three months later and I have just done it! It is not laziness, honest guv, it is just a severe case of can't be arsed.

          No, no - he actually did something. Something actually useful as well! For himself, and he's the only one who benefits admittedly, but...

              Hello Tosh. Got a Toshiba? My Toshiba had that and it took me a week to think - "humm, can I change this?" - then Mr Google showed me the way.

                  I might do the same thing for our Toshiba, but my wife went through two Toshiba laptops which didn't last more than one month each, so now I may, emphasize may, do something about it in my lifetime. Now THAT'S politics :laugh:
