The Ann Arbor XL series has a red LED in the caps-lock key.  I think
it is a good idea, and wish the 'print' key had one also. (and any other
key that toggles something rather than just sending a char to the computer)

Who looks at their keyboard?  Well I do.  I use different keyboards,
thus I have to look at them to find where the <bleep> they put the
square brackets or whatever.  I don't want a bunch of extra crap
displayed on the screen for caps-lock, etc.  That uses up space on
the screen I could be using for something else.  In the case of
caps-lock, the only time it gets used is when I need to type a bunch
of caps and I'm typing with one hand because the other is busy.

BTW, the Ann Arbor XL is pretty nice, especially the portrait mode one,
except that the power supply hates glitches.  Anyone looked into
beefing up the power supply?
