It wouldn't have been so bad, except that it is a PHYSICALLY LOCKING
key.  That means that you can't just re-map it through software.
Nope - you have to physically damage it as well.

If it were my only keyboard, I think I'd get used to using BOTH control
keys (just under the shift keys, folks)  but I have "standard" keyboards
here at work that continue to confuse my poor fingers. sigh.

Apple, do you have a fix for this?  (please?)
