[gui-talk] Keys On A Laptop

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I used to have a laptop with one of those wicked sensitive mute buttons on 
it. Since I did not want to ever use that button, I used some of my sister's 
clear nail polish to permanently disable it. I don't recommend doing this, 
but it worked for me.
