I hate you, inanimate object.

Although it's not the most cleverly written piece to ever grace the pages of McSweeney's, I can certainly empathize with the writer, as I've never understood the purpose of the insert key myself:

An Open Letter to My Computer's Insert Key

After a little research, I did find a way for Windows users to disable their insert key, but that still doesn't explain why it was ever created in the first place.

I do not have an insert key. Why not? A sense of missing out passes over me. It's gone. Again, Mac is one step ahead of PC. {{{Sigh}}} will noone ever get it? Mac Rules!

Macs have also decided to forgo with that pesky right-click button on the mouse. How ingenious.
