Supper extra credit points:
Back in the day, ya I am an old fogy, a friend of mine wrote a program that ran in the background at a low level watching the double byte keyboard codes coming in.
It made my keyboard work more like a calculator keyboard.
He called it "Sticky Key".
When the "shift" key is pressed, and released, it would remember it was pressed and the next key pressed would enter the shifted character.
This was very useful for one handed single finger "Hunt and Peck" typing I do.
Any ideas?

Windows XP and Windows 7 both support "Sticky Keys". I'd expect Vista to support the same function. It should be hidden under "accessibility options" or something similar.
It is a bit unfortunate that one has to pay extra for a nice clean keyboard. Besides the premium, shipping the keyboard to Taiwan is a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle.
Linux remains very loyal to 'old school computing'. At times it gets absurd.. like when you have to use 'vi' as your editor.
