Yes, and it happens quite often when I'm typing a lot. Of course it could be a flaky keyboard. On a PB5300 I have, the keyboard went completely wacko.

I'm using it for a spare SCSI disk now. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
