Heh.

I've seen -- and done -- that trick. I really do need to write it down
somewhere.

OS X 10.5 now offers a simple way to change the caps-lock key into a
control key. Kudos to Apple for that (but I still am stuck with the
caps-lock keycap, alas).

They're nice keyboards.  I've stopped using mine for the moment 'cuz
they're just a little too small to comfortably fit in my lap, despite
being centered better than a more traditional full-sized keyboard.

Add some function keys on the left and the inverted-T and paging
keys on the right, and I'd be overjoyed.
