Yeah, it's hard to know all the ins and outs of that I think. I hadn't realized
until I had trouble entering my password or even doing cmd-f5 to get the beeps
at login that I realized the keyboard could be a problem. Worked fine with one
keyboard and not with another. I wonder if there's a "take control of
filevault" book; if not there should be but I'm sure not going to be the one to
write it :-)

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)
