Sometimes I really hoped that Quartz had never existed, and Apple
had chosen X11 as the foundation of OS X's GUI. This way we could
have changed keymappings using xmodmap, for example, or typed
Chinese using the superior scim system.
In all other X'es, I have always xmodmapped the useless "Caps Lock"
key to some more useful key like Multi_key or Mode_switch. Alas,
can't do this in OS X, it would have been real nice (daydreaming...)
if there were a way in System Preferences to disable Caps Lock =P

Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die.
