Also?

Short-row shaping is my bitch :) Hurrah for proto-jumpers with room for breasts!

Why "I"?

Because "^X" normally refers to Ctrl+X, which is represented to many applications as ASCII character code N, where N is the index of the letter X in the alphabet, and because Backspace is ASCII character 8 - this would make Backspace "^H", and I'm an idiot who can't count(*), so I got "^I" instead. "^M" would be ASCII character 13, which is Carriage-Return.

I have several pairs of ancient genes, *and* some ancient technology that I seem to be capable of operating (well, a pair of Amiga 1200s, at any rate), no mighty brain-power required....

(*) Actually, I can but I assumed it was a zero-based index, whereas it's not - ASCII character zero is Ctrl+@, not Ctrl+A.

I think the world's about to end. I understood something computer-related.

Clearly, you're superior to Rodney McKay.
