    I imagine this makes perfect sense to people who are not tech savy, which is the primary demographic for selling a laptop that’s basically an iPad.

    Then again, I know 94-year olds capable of grasping the concept of SHIFT and CAPS LOCK. So yeah, drunk marketing statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

      Shift came from typewriters. It literally shifted the mechanism over so the keys would trigger a different set of hammers.

      And the first typewriter came out in 1868. So this was already old tech by the time that 94 year old was born.
