And to answer your last question, sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've seen a friend of mine martyring my poor Casio even if it blinked after clicking the clear button... And I've seen myself clicking Ctrl-X more than once when cutting files in MS Windows, where they become 'translucent' (so there's a feedback) | |
