I disagree. I've seen many users who use the CapsLock key instead of the
Shift key to capitalize the first letter of words. I know this is wierd,
but they're quite used to it ( I know of at least one person who types
faster then me using this wierd method of capitalization). I thin kits
unjust to just take that key away from them, because some people feel
strongly about it :-)
