This is getting to be way too much "fun" ...

A different keyboard (the one that came with the HP beast) does not have 
any failure problems after a couple of days of testing. The original 
keyboard (a MicroSoft Natural from @2001 ... I am under the impression 
that it has changed since then?) and the HP keyboard show no failure on 
a F16 machine.

Looks like I get to bring that F16 machine onto F17 and see if the 
Microsoft Natural suddenly starts having problems.

Obviously, I am beginning to think that a bug has been introduced into 
F17 that only shows up on my Microsoft Natural keyboard (mind you, I am 
not assuming that the only two keyboards in the universe are an HP 
keyboard and an old Microsoft Natural (smile)).

I only post this "status update" in case anyone can see something new 
(and I am thinking the old Microsoft Natural keyboard ...)

Thanks,
Paul
