  Are any of you using the new Type IV Sun keyboard?  I had this problem
when I got stuck with a Type IV and removed the Caps Lock key as is my
habbit.

	[When will keyboard manufacturers realize that the correct place
	for a Caps Lock key is as far away from the central area of the
	keyboard as possible???]

  The new keyboard seems to use a completely different key switch which
doesn't like being Naked To The Light Of Day.  In any case, simply
lifting the keyboard up, inverting it up side down, and then setting it
back down right side up seemed to fix the problem.  This was so annoying
that I was forced to put the Caps Lock key back on.

	[When will keyboard manufacturers take new keyboard designs to
	people who actually use them before Standardizing them????
	(sigh) I hate my new keyboard.]
