Could we improve the keyboard?

I work in data entry, and I have to say, the layout of a modern keyboard can make me very frustrated. I propose the following improvements:

1. Replace the numlock key, with a second backspace key. You could even move the numlock key up, with the led light in the key.

2. Replace the capslock key with the tab key. Then add a "Tab Up" key where the original was. Move the capslock key somewhere where it wont be struck in error.

What do you think of these ideas? Have any of your own?

I just get so frustrated.

    i love the numlock idea because it helps with the numbers when your on say Excel. The tab is an okay idea, if you move the caps lock to say where the bottom left ctrl key is. now if you take apart and rewire your keyboard you can actually do this, if you do let me know if you post a question or if you find out how just email me.
