Personally I've yet to think of a single use for Caps Lock and Num Lock. Whenever I get stuck with a M$ keyboard (which seems to be most of them) I prise off a few irritating keys so that I don't hit the poxy things by mistake. Best keyboard I ever used was the PC-101, with the runner-up being the one with the function keys down the LHS. Can't remember the Sun keyboards, but they did have some pretty ghastly ones, such as the first one; it was so heavy that you could've used it as a lethal weapon. -- Dave
