discoveries I've made recently has been http://www.anticapslock.com/
...where they have blazed the trail in saving us frOM THE evILS of cAPSLoCK! :D
One good friend here (sennard) actually wrote one I used for years, but it only worked on WIN95... I loved it though, and have been looking for another good one since .. *warble*

The one I have been testing is at http://www.taniwha.org.uk and it works great on the mac!
Hopefully one of those at the first site can help some of you out too...

take care!

In the current version of Mac OS X, you can configure the modifier keys (including caps lock) under System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse/Modifier Keys...

thanks for the tip, nice critter!

I use X a lot when I'm working, but I still use 9 most of the time at home for personal computing, cuz it jus' saves mee $1,000s on not havin' to gitta lotta new software :9 *wags* ...and this is the first dependable capslock killer that I've found for 9. I haven't tested any of the WIN ones yet, but they are probably good too, although most of those appear to have a cost attached.
Tanx for reading n commenting!

Why is the capslock evil?

that's a figure uv speech.. *wink*

It's rare that it's needed (at least for me), and far more often the button is accidentally grazed, causing a long row of undesIRED CAPITAL LETTers, like that. :/

Older (ADB) macintoshes had a typewriter style keyboard, wherein the caps lock could not be activated unless one consciously pushed it down into a locked position, thus, the caps LOCK.
Newer cheaper (USB) keyboards have removed this feature, and so if one never used caps lock, it's nice to have it disabled.
When I need caps, I usually just use the Shift key.

I never had that problem myself so it never occurred to me that it would be for other people. I use the shift key as well. Being able to program keys sound cool.
