so have i...until i started using ps/2 keyboards. either the computers or
the keyboards are sensitive and can do one of three things:
- work
- not work for a number of minutes (can be quite a few of them)
- not work period
_particularly_ when you're using a keyboard with a pointing device in it.
fair warning, not everything is as unbreakable as it used to be.
