Does the Caps Lock key really have all that much utility?

Let's see... I've never once in my life used Scroll Lock, Insert, Home, End, Pause/Break, turned Num Lock off for a real reason, or that weird dialog box key next to the right Alt. I've only once or twice found uses for the vertical bar | below the backspace.

I think we do need 12 "F" keys, since some background programs use them as hotkeys and there need to be a lot to avoid inevitable conflicts. I read somewhere that you could press Shift and an F-key to get F13, F14, and so on, but I'm not sure if that's true.
