Keyboard help for the fat-fingered

If you're like me, 1) you have a brand-spanking-new Apple keyboard that still dazzles you with its thinness and loveliness, and; 2) you never learned to type properly. This combination can be problematic, because the new keyboard's keys are much easier to press than those on the old offering from Apple (where you had to pretty much thump keys into submission). Because my fingers flit about the place, rather than sticking to 'home' keys, I tend to strike Caps-Lock a lot, whICH CAN BE REALLY ANNOYING. (Sorry.) However, there's a solution—nip into the Keyboard section of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences pane, click 'Modifier Keys...' and set the 'Caps Lock Key' menu to 'No Action'. From that point on, you could have a hyperactive woodpecker randomly banging away on the key, and it won't make an iota of difference. Ah, bliss!
