[SunRescue] silly sun keyboard question

[Stou Sandalski]

Hehe I was shocked at the keyboard layout of the SS2 I bought from e-bay a
while back, and being a PC user I couldn't figure out how to get past an
error message, after not being able to press Ctrl+Alt+Del my friend and I
frustrated pressed (banged more like it) a bunch of keys at once and this
garbage started to spew on the screen (I will put some pix online maybe
someone can say what it is). It was weird! Don't blame me though, the
closest I've ever gotten to exotic hardware is one of my friend's powermac.

I have a lot of trouble Pressing Alt+F4 in windows while trying to switch
the "virtual terminals" hehehe Oh what are these Kodak Boxes you guys talk
about? One thing that realy bothers me with this ss2 keyboard I have is that
the buttons are closer together then the pc keyboards, making me mess up
typing all the time.

One thing that bothers me the most about using my terminal is that I try
to use the Sun-located CTRL (terminal) and screw up on my PCs. The first
time I sat down to a type-5, it look me a little while to learn it. After
a week or two, I was using them interchangeably with PC keyboards (not on
the same machine, mind you. I'm talking about changing to a PC and
"autoloading" a new keyboard preference into the ol' brain buffer.)
