If the keyboard II you looked at was a replica of the IIgs keyboard, I'd
like to know where you saw it! Look closer...Apple has fallen victim to
the PC bug that scrambles all the keys, particularly the CONTROL and CAPS
LOCK keys, sometimes ESCAPE as well. For what it is worth, CONTROL
belongs on the third row right next to the "A", while Caps Lock belongs in
the lower left-hand corner. That's where Apple put it on the ][e and
IIgs; that's where Sun puts it on the Sparc. But that's NOT where you'll
find those keys on a current Mac keyboard or on a "standard" Pee Cee keyboard.
End of rant-N-rave.
