    Is there anyway to remap or even disable the fn key? the placement of it --where the ctrl should be, and is on every other computer on the planet--is really starting to me off.

    Everything i've read, all the keys are remappable except the fn key. I use sharpkeys to make the "windows" key a ctrl key, and to disable the capslock, but it doesn't touch the fn key. I'm actually considering "surgically" removing the stupid fn key, i'm not kidding.

    Any help anyone could offer to remap or disable this key would be great. Obviously, if i could remap it to the ctrl key, that would be ideal! = )
