Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong...  From reading the hardware reference
manual, I got the impression that the CAPS key is treated
differently.  This makes it impossible to switch the CAPS key and the
CNTL key.  As Murphy's Law would have it, these are the ONLY keys I
would like to switch.  It seems my only option is to cut and jumper
the traces inside the keyboard.  Of course that will void my
warranty.  Is it possible to buy JUST the keyboard?  That way I could
get an acceptable layout and retain my warranty.
