Hintjens, the CEO of iMatix, has launched the Capsoff organization in
a campaign urging hardware manufacturers to ditch the oft-abused and
misused key. Hintjens' plan is to build the entire infrastructure for
the movement using only freely available tools from Google. He's
already set up a Blogger Capsoff blog and a forum at Google Groups.

"The Caps key is an abomination," Hintjens writes on his blog. "It's a
huge key, stuck right there where the Ctrl used to be, and as far as I
know, it's only used by 419 scammers and Fortran programmers."
