1. If it's not a considerable effort, build your own damn keyboard utility.

2. Doing things badly is in many cases no cheaper than doing it well.

3. Building a full-featured graphing suite or grid component is not a  
trivial task. If you find it to be such, please build the following  
components for Squeak:

The latter actually contains considerable graphing capabilities, so you  
can get a good return for your efforts.

4. The people I have worked for who built end user software products--I  
don't know if they fall into your "parasite" category, but as they were in  
medical industries, helping scientists do things like track down cures for  
cancer--could not have existed without some way to be paid for their  
efforts. A great deal of useful, socially constructive, and certainly  
=fun= software would not exist without the chance for compensation, and  
the world would be a much poorer place.

5. It took me five seconds to find a freeware program to remap keys on the  
Windows keyboard:

Might even work.
