Caps lock... (was Typos of the Week!)

[Jim_McAward -at- Ademco -dot- com]

John,

I type the way you do.  I solved my caps lock problem by popping off the
offending key, then putting a short length of plastic tube beneath it.  (I
used clear aquarium tubing, with ~0.25" outside diameter... but anything
flexible, even a ball of scotch tape, will work.)  

After you pop the key back on, you'll have to really *press* it when you
want it on (since you'll be compressing both its flimsy spring and the
tubing); however you won't switch it with a misplaced left pinky the way you
used to.  

Have a great morning!
Jim

As a professional writer, do you:

* touch type
* look at the keys
* use all 10 fingers
* use as few fingers as possible


I am abashed to admit that, after almost 30 years of writing for a living, I
still look at the keys when I type. No wonder I hate caps lock so much!!!!
