Default Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks

Yeah, I know I'm a computer geek too, but I have no idea the answer to this question.

I was having a nice coversation with my 8 year old daugther today. She was asking me about computers, and what I did at work. I told her a lttle bit about how computers work, on a level that she could manage. Then she asked me, what's the scroll lock key for?

[insert sound of jaw dropping open]Duhhhh, I don't know honey.

I told her that it doesn't have any use, so she asked me why it's on the keyboard. So I told her that it used to have a purpose, but that nobody uses it anymore, but that the people that make the keyBoards are afraid to not put it on there because if they didn't someone might need it for something.

Anyone have a better explanation than that?
