Re: caps lock keys

Thanks for the link. I will check that out.

As for MS's own Tweakui, I have found that when you play around with
their own accessories, you always manage to disturb something else. I'm
not a MS basher by any means, but what drives me batty about them is
their conception of what people want from their computers. Briefly, what
I mean is this: to really take advantage of MS stuff, you have to think
like they do. I don't think like they do. That' doesn't mean I'm right
and their wrong, or vice versa.


Cheers!
