Re: 700 Keyboard

The keyboard was designed by committee.  The layout is the contribution
from the business (HP3000) side of the house.  Since so much of Un*x
involves the CNTL key, its placement next to the caps lock key is quite
likely the worst possible choice.

The normal workaround here is to pry off the caps lock key with a small
screwdriver and throw it away.  Same with the Print/Enter key.
