Screw you, Capslock.

I've certainly heard of this feature in the past, but after tonight I can vouch for its brilliance: Aluminum Apple keyboards have a safeguard against accidental Capslock key press, making it less likely TO TYPE LIKE THE LESS INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ON THE iNTERNET (spelling corrected).

I'm sure Bruce D. will argue it's a feature to hide Apple users in plain sight of intelligent computer users, but I don't care -I happen to think it's a pretty neat touch.

What's more, I couldn't fail noticing that for some reason Capslock actually stays all-caps, so using the Shift key will not result in lowercase letters.

Best bunch of buttons I touched since the TR-909? Maybe not, but close.

pagh. Caps Lock should be remapped to ctrl anyway. Which is insanely hard to do on windows, but straightforward in Mac OS X.

You might get prtty ticked off then -the delay is hardware, so even when you remap Capslock to a useful key, the key will still require a bit more time than the 'regular' one.
