somewhat of a discovery

[AdmiralAK]

Well,
Last night while I was CLIing through OS X trying to get packages installed via fink, I made an amazing discovery
You know the keys on newer mac keyboards that are for ejecting the CD-ROM ?

Well I discovered that older keyboards can do teh same with the F11 and F12 keys F11 to eject and F12 to put back in

Wow, that's cool...I like the old keyboard, mostly just for the power-button.
Who's idea was it to make Apple Pro keyboards without the power-button??? And not putting an EJECT-button on the new PowerMacs???

I ordered the new keyboard for my Blue and White G3 as soon as I could. For a while, I missed the power button. A very short while. I don't spend much time in OS 9, so it's not very necessary. Besides, control-eject brings up the "Shutdown, Sleep, Restart, Cancel" message.

Really? Wow, I don't have to miss the powerbutton after all.
