On Mac keyboards, the backspace key, instead of having "backspace" written on it, says "delete". And yes, the key below "insert" says "delete" as well (but with an icon of an arrow to the right...).

Just like the Enter key says "return", while Enter on the numpad says "Enter".

All the more fun to confuse people, but the keys work the same regardless (i.e., the delete key really is a backspace key, and Windows treats the "return" key as Enter).

I have delete-key erasers from Levenger that I've had for years and years. I don't think they make them anymore, but they're just adorable.

A delete eraser? What, when you erase in the middle of a line it moves the rest of the line over? It should have been the backspace symbol, the home plate shape with an x. Or better yet, shaped like that with an x on it.

Yah, shouldn't it be backspace for most of the people on here?

Not me, but most people.
