Hello New members ;)

You —

Salaam

Thought I may aswell start this off as all past members will also need to re-register.

Inshallah we will be a friendly bunch here, but expect many firework displays as we all defend our positions.

[b]EDIT[/b]

Just to avoid confusion, I have written some[url=/node/185] guidelines to choosing a name[/url].

Wasalaam

 

EDIT 2

Best new members create a new topic or a blog post to introduce themselves. This topic is now closed.

[quote="Ya'qub"][quote="You"]Does your spacebar not work?

:twisted:[/quote]

how come the 'return' key is called 'return'?

the word 'return suggests it goes back to where it came from, when infact it goes down a line and to the left!

surely the 'backspace' keys is more deserving of the moniker 'return', is it not?[/quote]

At one point the enter and the return keys did different things. You can still see this in some old computer systems.

The enter key was the "action key". The return key just returned the key to the next line.

Now both do both.

[quote][b]and where's the 'any' key?[/b], it says 'press any key'' but i can't find it![/quote]

Additionally what does the scroll lock do? except for messing up the editing of documents?

If you look on a computer keyboard you'll notice the U and I are together...

ahem! sorry, got carried away there.

How come on a PC when u 1st switch it on the 'num lock' is switched off?

WHY?

WHO uses them as arrows when there is ANOTHER set of arrows!?! :!: :?:

he i've just thought that the most geeky conversation EVER about the intricacies of the computer keyboard is NOT the most welcoming thing to have on the 'hello new members' thread.

Hi,
I am not a new member, but a returning member after about 18 months, in which time I moved away from home and my faith has waned. With the start of ramadhan I am hoping to renew it. Fresh start and all.

my faith goes up and down like a yo-yo, but he times where its ben at its lowest has actually made me stronger, because it has made me realise how much we all rely on Allah (swt) and need Him for absolutely everything.

May Allah (swt) accept all your efforts over the month of Ramadan. Ameen.
