Statement | Explanation |

Oh, just hit both shift keys to change over to QWERTY. | Likely has keyboard in DVORAK |
Caps lock is control. And spacebar is capslock. | Changing Caps Lock to a "more useful" key is common. However to change an even larger key to be capslock (Space) is odd |
And two-finger scroll moves through time instead of space. | Two finger scrolling is often used to move through a document or application on a mousepad or touchscreen device - this could be seen as moving through space (despite the cursor not actually being real). Randall is presumerably making a comment re: Space Time continuum or similar? |
Once I've used a computer for a while no one else will ever use it again. | It is unlikely that any user who tries using a computer configured like this would be expecting it and would find the workflow very hard - they are unlikely to ask again to use Cueball's computer |

Just a minor point QWERTY is not the standard "Roman" keyboard but "English" as "French" is AZERTY and German is something else. The other thing is that just the change from US to UK can really mess things up, $>£ is trivial as @ not only moves, but the symbol keys all seem to do different things.
