Hi,l have a laptop,but,was horrified to see my 5 year old bladdering away at it's keyboard whilst playing computer games.l didn't have the heart to show him a red card,as he was having such a good time.So,l bought a usb mouse & key board.Problem solved,although,one little thing is bugging me.The laptop keyboard has a function key which when used in conjunction with F1 - F12 keys performs funtions like:-volume up/down,brightness up/down,web cam on/off,monitor select e.t.c.A standard keyboard doesn't have this function key,or does it?lf not ,can another keys function be changed to do this?
