Who would suspect that a brand new kbd would fail in such a flaky way.


I have seen keyboard failures cause much worse problems than that! When a keyboard gets old and starts sending a bit of noise along with the keycodes, it can do really bad things -- especially if it is something like my Gateway AnyKey which actually has a microprocessor and RAM in it for storing keyboard macros.
