This is a test for yours truly. If you're reading this, one of three things as occured:
1. You're me...HI ME
2. You've gone to beginning of the blog. Welcome.
3. I decided not to blog, but you're still seeing this, which must mean you're so bored you decided to do that whole "let me type random things in searches and see what pops up." If this is the fact, go take a nap, it's better for you and will take up time until something interesting happens.
BTW, while I wrote the above, I fell victim to the dreaded "Insert" curse. You know the "Insert" key, upper-left hand key in that group of 6 above the arrow keys. You probably also know what happens if you press it by mistake. Trouble. Confusion. You hit backspace to correct a mistake, try to retype what you meant to say, but letters disappear as you write. It usually takes a few seconds to realize your mistake, but it's still a pain in your side for those few seconds.
My question(s): When is the "Insert" key useful? Furthermore, who uses it, why do they use it, who would want to use, and why does it even exist?
Forget "What's the meaning of Life," "Was there a magic bullet," or "Were the Red Sox cursed, or just really bad," my "Insert Key" questions are the one I want answers to!

A while ago my lunchbox went missing, and I decided to let you know about the resulting upheaval. Sometimes I'll be clever, witty and insightful, or I'll discuss the mundane and fail to use a semicolon. Sometimes I'll discuss the state of the world, or reference John Mayer lyrics. This is my blog; you game?

Warren,
The answer to life was found on the AARP website, see below. Funny how you have to be over 55 (or something like that) to finally get it.
The real kicker...most programs turn the insert key off...makes you wonder.
Insert Key (Ins)
The Insert key is found only on PC keyboards. It is a toggle key that determines what happens when you type new characters within an existing line of text or numbers. When the Insert key is on, the new text that you type is inserted at the cursor location and the text already in place is moved to the right. When the Insert key is off, new text overwrites the text that is on the screen to the right of the cursor. Most programs turn the Insert key off, and there is usually little reason for the average user to turn it on. There is usually no visual indication of whether the Insert key is on or off.
