Found these video podcasts accidentally today and they were a big revelation for me. How come these things don't reach us Windows people? I really think some features on OSX are way ahead of Windows and I don't think enough people know about it, which is why I thought I best spread the word.

Key Remap for MacBook
I've been searching the net for days to find a solution for a keyboard problem I have on my MacBook.
Basically, for an unknown reason to me, the Caps Lock key is bound to Left arrow key and no matter which one of these two I press, I get both functions: Caps Lock changes ON/OFF and cursor moves to the left.
Similar, for Ctrl key and number 8 key, but not quite the same. When I press either of these two, I get only Ctrl function. This means I don't have number 8 or * in my keyboard. To say the least it's been very annoying and I just couldn't find any solution anywhere.
Today after repeated searching I stumbled upon this application KeyRemap4MacBook (http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/index.html). First thing I'm going to do when I get home is install it and see what happens. I hope it will pick up the two sets of bonded keys and give me an option to either remove it or overwrite with a new setting. Fingers crossed...
