I'm looking at my powerbook right now and the caps lock key is in the exact same place as it is on my logitec keyboard and my compaq laptop. Only difference that I see is the backspace key says delete and there is no "delete" key that kills the character on the cursor. > I've been told that the behaviour is in the firmware and is > unavoidable w/out drastic measures. I'd say this is a minor nit that you could get use to over time. My biggest complaint for all laptops is a decent mouse replacement. I'm no fan of glidepoints or eraser mice. Plus, no 3 buttons - 1 for macs, 2 for pcs. I have to say that a powerbook is one high quality piece of work. My compaq presario 700 looks like junk in comparison.
