Weird - I've NEVER had tha thappen, and I type like a greased monkey.
Is this locally, or via SSH to another system?  99% of my stuff is
SSH to ohno.

I like the MacAlly iKey keyboards, because THEY DONT HAVE THE NIPPLE DOTS
ON THE WRONG KEYS (e.g, they're on f and j where GOD INTENDED THEM TO BE -
but on the ADB keyboard they're on d and k, ap o ewmn i[ tu[ewomG ;OLE TJOS/.

(so I end up typing like this)

For a touch-typist who learned on a keyboard with the "dots" on f and j,
a original Mac extended ADB keyboard *sucks*.  Good feel, but those dots
are the only thing wrong with it.
