Sorry to interrupt, but did you read my reply?
How on earth is "too many keys pressed" a useful message in this context?
It doesn't say "user pressed too many keys", it says the keyboard *reports
too many keys pressed* which is most likely what's happening. This is not
a terribly useful, but valid error message.
Yes, maybe their keyboard is crap, but what is the user to do?
Nothing, take notice of the fact.
Go buy a new laptop because someone else has a utopian view on how
hardware should be?
You mean deciding not to silently ignore errors is having a utopian view?
Are we talking about Linux or kernel32.dll?
When a user can't do *anything* about it, it's useless, and serves
as nothing but a cause for concern. "Oh no, is my laptop dying?".
Laptops come with Windows XP pre-installed for those users, what was your
problem again?
