In what instance, in any type of writing, will you be using CAPS for such a continuous extent that you will need the Caps lock instead of just holding down the Shift key? So yeah, I like this point. I'm gonna become an advocate! The Comic Sans thing? Never thought about it. It's an ugly font, but there are uglier out there, no?

A good logical step towards ending the nuisance however, could be to educate our people more about nettiquete, maybe as part of a computer subject in school? "online ethos" hehe.. (please note, ethos not ethics.. last thing we need is more bureaucracy), at least if we cant have grown people respect uncrowned rules of the information highway, we'd be able to teach our younglings to do it in the future.. my .02 cents Im going to have to stand with Isam on this one, it comepletely grinds my gears when people uses capitals for no apparent reason, specially if its in a text message (i.e on a tiny pixe- screen of a mobile phone).. boy, those leave me boiling! having said that however, i do have a different opnion when it comes to “removing” the little brat of a key, i mean, without caps-lock, how will you be able to get on other peoples’ nerves when you want to? right? works both ways..

I mean, sometimes when you do assignments, you need to write long titles. and in many cases you need to shout in the conversations! hehe interesting though! never heard of it! :D omar I think losing the CAPS key on the keyboard would do no good.
