I keep hitting the eject key by accident on this new G5 keyboard. Does anyone know how to remap the key so that it is shift-eject to eject?

p.s. I've notice other G5 users doing the same thing. The problem is that the key is right on the edge of the keyboard and there is no keyboard rim, so if you go to reach for your mouse (and you are right handed) you sometimes graze it accidentally. On the old G4 keyboard you would just hit the plastic edge of the keyboard.
