The ctrl location on that old machine is much more handy. I've changed my caps lock to ctrl for years.

Same here. I do, however, hate that most keyboards have a `stepped' Caps Lock key, presumably to stop people accidentally activating it when they type an `a'. Thankfully, my laptop doesn't, and neither does my keyboard at home.
Considering I started on the early PCs (XT), I'm too used to the CTRL key where it is... I have a real problem on lenovo, and similar keyboards where the Fn key is in the corner. I also discovered, I favor the right shift, which makes a lot of mini/htpc keyboards a pain... the one I am on right now has the shift to the right of the up arrow.
The escape key is also in a better place.
