(hmmm, much top-posting up there)
Since nobody else has mentioned this (apologies if this does not
address your needs, and you *really* hate the presence of the Caps-Lock
key), but most motherboard BIOS's have a setting for startup "numlock
state". I always set mine to "Disabled" and it keeps the unwanted Caps
keys away unless/until I explicitly (temporarily) enable them by hitting
the Caps-Lock key.
