I can disable it on each computer for each user, but I have hundreds of users coming in here. Nothing is more annoying right now than reading assignments in all caps and I have spent months telling them not to use the key, but many still do.

I would be trying to code and suddenly notice a long string of L's and semi-colons. btw, those splints stink after a few days, literally. Broke my ring-finger playing football in high school.

A totally unnecessary function, in the rare cases somebody might need it, some obscure key-combination could do the job. Too bad is hogs so much keyboard real estate.

The reason it's important to check the keyboard is that the Mac OS remembers other keyboards you've attached, and doesn't seem to default to the one that *is* attached (when you've got only one currently attached).

Check out CapSee... it puts a notification bezel on the screen (just like the volume and brightness bezels) letting you know when you bump the caps lock key. It's free, and it's currently Apple's featured download! www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/capsee.html Disabling the caps lock seems a bit extreme to me.
