That is absolutely terrible. If they were really concerned with "usability", presumably there would be some kind of graphical representation of your loaded keys. This isn't "usability", it's a horribly misguided attempt to make things convenient.glyphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07021175796928101086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21652080.post-49939720107076147222008-09-01T01:29:00.000+01:002008-09-01T01:29:00.000+01:00That really sucks.
