I never use Caps Lock. It’s a stupid key, occupying prime real estate on the keyboard. I pretty much agree with the Sun layout, which switches the Ctrl and Caps Lock keys on the left side. (Having said that, I will note that it made switching between my Mac at home and my SunRay at work difficult when I worked at Sun several years ago.)
Anyway, I’m a pretty good typist, so I rarely turn Caps Lock on. It’s only ever by accident. Which is how I noticed this the other day:
How friggin’ SWEET is that?!? Let’s hope this catches on. One of these days, maybe phone support people (shout out to all my Service Desk homies!) will be able to stop asking wheter Caps Lock is on.

It is sweet, but how many of the people who call help-desks with that problem will actually realise what that symbol means?

I anticipate: none. It doesn’t help that there’s no Caps Lock marker on Apple’s keyboards. I should see who I can talk to about that....
