I guess I just never got used to using it.  If I want TO TYPE LOTS OF
CAPITALS IN A ROW, I just hold down the SHIFT key with one pinky and
type away.  If I need to use that pinky for something, I switch to
holding down SHIFT with the other pinky and continue typing.  Even for
programming where macros and constants are involved, they're rarely so
long that it becomes a pain.

Mind you, I don't really know how I do it--I had to actually type
something and pay attention to it :).  I type pretty fast so it's all
just muscle memory; I think some words and magic! they appear on the
screen--and after a while of that, for some strange reason my fingers
are tired :)
