Hello,
Just another topic my colleagues were talking about today, which I found quite interesting. When your you are asked to press any key, is there a specific one you choose?
Peter.

That's a very old Simpson's joke.

Slap the keyboard a few times with my open palm.  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

I press 'a' or sometimes an arrow key. Keeps the comuter guessing.

I always press "n"
(Too many bad DOS experiences I guess)

What ever key I find myself pressing.
Usually a few at once.

Ctrl
It often does nothing, so I try Alt or Shift or NumLock - which often does nothing either.
Then I try the winkey, which usually does something but often not what was intended.
Or if I'm not being difficult, I press the space bar. Often with my toe.

I'm fairly sure that I was asked to hit "Any key" once before and when I pressed "Esc" it asked me if I was sure I wanted to quit...
-.-
That's not ANY KEY!
>.<
So for me it's space.

Depends. When using a command line then nearly always space, but when mouse-ifying it can be the return key.

Almost always the Space bar. Just because it's the one I can hit without much effort or attention _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

Normally I use the space key if I am asked to use a key.
Else I use Command. This will wake up the Mac without doing anything else. Sometimes I may use Shift for the same reason.
