It's mostly a holdover, yes.
Some programs, especially games with a lot of command options, utilize it for other purposes.

Overwrite is a necessity in the software my library uses (new as of 2004). It's lame that it's necessary, but it is.

I know there are ways to disable it permanently for the computer (besides just removing the physical key) or to disable it in individual programs (like Word). But I have to ask: what is the function of the "overwrite" capability? Is this some remnant from the days of DOS or something?

It's the Caps Lock key that drives me nuts. I finally disable it altogether.

And yes, in the days of DOS, it was the best way to edit text.

God Damn Johnny Weir! He's got me singing a Lady Gaga song and it's stuck in my head.

So....how was my week? Well, from spending last Saturday night in the ER from pain through yesterday's root canal -- pretty crappy, actually. I've been mostly out of my head on pain pills all week to cope.

On the plus side, I apparently astounded the endodontist with the amount of pus that spewed forth from my tooth.

so, what have I missed?

[MouseWife]

OMG Prudence!!! That sounds horrible!! I've had tooth pain but I've never been to the ER for it! OMG

Are you properly medicated now?

Bought our airline tix for DL in June tonight- whoohoo for the tickets, and sad cheese for my bank account. (Bought six- my sis will pay me back for hers later). Can't wait!!!!!
