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). > My Happy Hacker Lite 2 I'm using now also has a control key in the right > place. 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. -- A keyboard in the lap, that's the way To somewhat relaxed at the end of the day.
