From: Christopher A Kent 
On the other hand, there are those of us who are really pleased that a
manufacturer has the guts to buck the "everything you could want plus
the kitchen sink on the keyboard" style keyboard, and gave us just the
basics in the Mac; a keyboard that is just two hands wide, with no
excess baggage. The only thing wrong with the Mac's keyboard is that
the caps lock key is a physically locking key; this means, as we all
know, that you can't use it for a control key, as it should be. 

It is so refreshing to use the Mac's keyboard after dealing with the
monstrosities that DEC (and other companies) are hawking now (see the
keyboard on the VT2?? series of terminals or the VaxStation for
examples of what I mean). 

"Real men don't use function keys when editing." They touch type and
want to keep their keys on the home row. (They also want a mouse with
more than one button, but that's a different story...:-)

Cheers,
chris
