Well, it take likes 5 seconds in the System Preferences, to change the modifier keys, and the same 5 seconds to change them back when you are done. I know, computer seconds are awfully looong but…

I have only one complaint about my mac book internal keyboard, and that is the lack of a right side control key. I think Apple Engineers smart enough to think out something, after all, we pay a premium amount of money for those devices, and shouldn't be handed over a crippled keyboard.

I also think this to be more and more the reality, as more and more consumers shift platform over to the iPad.

While I am complaining: the "cycle through windows key": ctrl-F4, should be enforced by all applications, no choice there...

Why do you think you'd be allowed to?

Usable design is hardly what Apple focuses on.
