Happy Hour

Very funny, but true, lol.........Mohito's?

Good Idea :)

I've already seen a picture like this somewhere on the web, though not sure where exactly. Really interesting and funny, anyway.

What about Pizza?

Years ago, back in the dot.com boom, when everyone had tons of money to throw around at whatever idea hit their fancy, one of the (many) crazes at the time was that of the "internet appliance." A box that basically does ONLY the internet, so that Mom, Grandma, etc. can check her webmail, surf websites, and do various other Internet tasks.

one of these "internet appliances" was called the i-opener. Its main claim to fame was that it could be bought cheaply and hacked so that you can install a common PC operating system on it (Linux being the most popular, but it also could run Windows 98).

Anyway, that machine came with a keyboard that actually had a "Pizza" key on it. Pressing it while running the default i-opener OS/software would open your web browser to Papa John's so that you could order a nice pizza at your every whim.

Unfortunately i can't find any good pictures of said keyboard around; you'll just have to trust me, as well as this LinuxPlanet review of the device.

I think I also have seen

I think I also have seen this sort of keyboard button somwhere. If there is such buttons it would surely be funny and also it would be an added features in our board as well.

Isn't that what the Tab

Isn't that what the Tab button is for?
