Well, it’s about time! I’ve always mapped CAPSLOCK to Control (as it should be) on every computer I’ve owned that’s had a caps lock key (the last one without was my Sun 3/160 iirc).

Wired News: Death to Caps Lock:

“Is it time to permanently retire the Caps Lock key? Pieter Hintjens thinks so.

Hintjens, the CEO of iMatix, has launched the Capsoff organization in a campaign urging hardware manufacturers to ditch the oft-abused and misused key. Hintjens’ plan is to build the entire infrastructure for the movement using only freely available tools from Google. He’s already set up a Blogger Capsoff blog and a forum at Google Groups.”

I found a link to this on slashdot: What’s The Greatest Software Ever Written?

Be sure to check out the companion article: How Windows Measures On The Scale Of Greatness.. the last paragraph is a gem:

“To be great, it’s supposed to do the job intended. Windows comes close, tries hard, gets an A for effort, but just when we think it might be great, along comes that blue screen of death and we’re rebooting all over again.”
