They claim that they are doing the right thing for the Mac.  The bottom
line, however, for me, is that I have identical Kinesis keyboards at
home and at work, and when I use the one at work that is directly
connected to the Mac the mapping is one way, and when I use the Mac
remotely from home, it is the other.  I don't care which way it is, as
long as it's the same in both places!

They blame the problem on the Mac's incorrect interpretation of some PC
keyboards that are plugged directly into the Mac.

Perhaps you two businesses could compromise, and *both* implement
features to allow the user to swap these two keys.  (The alternative is
probably that neither will do it....)
