i agree that the placement of the capslock key is abysmally stupid (i've got mine remapped as control like it should be too).

you probably already know this but someone might not and i remember going "oh yeah... that makes sense..." the first time someone explained to me the reason for its existence. the capslock key is for people who, for whatever reason -- arthritis, missing hand, etc -- aren't able to hit two keys at once. if you only have one finger and you want a capital G, you're going to have a hard time getting it with just a shift key; instead they can hit capslock, g, then capslock again.

so there's my useless knowledge contribution of the day. enjoy.

of course it really could have gone somewhere less annoying...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
