This caused a flood of returns on early personal computer manufacturers, who determined that the best strategy to prevent returns was to remove the crippled key from the keyboards and pretend that nothing had happened. Thus, when you now see an application that tells you to press the Any Key, you can know with certainty that the program was written by some pinhead who obviously doesn't know what century it is. Ridiculously, Compaq claims computers do not have any Any key.

| - Der Any Key oder auch Scheissegal-Taste genannt ist von einem normalen PC-Benutzer nicht ohne weiteres zu finden. Viele Programme älteren Datums verlangen das regelmäßige Drücken dieser Taste, damit sichergestellt ist, dass der Benutzer noch am Leben ist. In der Regel befindet sich der Any Key am Computergehäuse und ist manchmal auch mit "Reset" beschriftet. An älteren Geräten kann die Any Key-Taste oft auch emuliert werden. Dazu ist ein kleiner Schiebeschalter mit der Aufschrift 120V / 240V in der Nähe des Stromanschlusses vorhanden. Dieser Schalter ist auch Ersatz für die sogenannten Dead Keys (Tasten die alleine noch kein Zeichen erzeugen, sondern erst durch einen nachfolgenden Tastendruck wirksam sind). Kategorie:Stumpf
- This caused a flood of returns on early personal computer manufacturers, who determined that the best strategy to prevent returns was to remove the crippled key from the keyboards and pretend that nothing had happened. Thus, when you now see an application that tells you to press the Any Key, you can know with certainty that the program was written by some pinhead who obviously doesn't know what century it is. Not to be confused with the SysRq key, which is never ever touched by anyone. Determining the purpose of this key has been labeled as one of the most mysterious unsolved problems in computer science. The Any Key was brought back on the prototype Apple IV computer, which was never seen outside of the basement occupied by Steve Jobs. When last seen, Steve's mother still had the prototype locked in his bedroom closet. Ridiculously, Compaq claims computers do not have any Any key.
