My laptop doesn't have a windows key?



What's going on here! Is there some sort of reason IBM doesn't have a windows key? I was tryen to use the start menu and I keep clicking and I'm all "is it freezing up already?" and then i realized i was hitting the Ctrl button and that there was no windows key!

How can I live without the minor convenience of not having to move my mouse 3 inches :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
