All of this is a piece o'cake unless you're a laptop user that is constantly docking
and undocking. Here's what I want... the BIOS in my DELL is smart enough to detect
an external keyboard and turn NUMLOCK on or off based on its presence. I only want
an OS to can defer to the BIOS. Is there a Windows setting that says "DON'T SECOND
GUESS THE BIOS"? That's all I want... and fries too! Wouldn't it be a shame if
Bill resigned from MS because not even he could get the XP folks to figure this out???
Now for y'all who don't think it's a big thing to constantly check and adjust the
setting, dink with the registry or write tons o' code to outsmart the OS, just remember
that it was a whiner like me that brought you the remote control. So when y'all
feel inclined to post, be sure to include the last time you got up an MANUALLY changed
the channel on your TV.
