     First I'd like to thank everybody who responded to my resident
 question.  I didn't think about the memory thing.

     Anyways, I have reciently started having weird problems.  It
 started when I was doing my resume.  I typed an 'I' and I got a '/'.
 Now, from time to time, the 'I', 'E', and more reciently the 'N' key
 have been acting weird, giving me capitol 'N's or 'W's or weird binary
 characters.

     When I boot up I chech these characters to see if I can boot up
 properly.  It seems to start about two thirds through my startup-
 sequence.  Nothing weird is there.

     There are two possibilities.  I added ARP 1.3 just prior to this
 problem.  I use it's shell.  Somehow I don't believe that this is the
 culpret.

     Second, and more likely, stems from an unfortunate accident.  A friend
 sortof spilled a screwdriver (of the Vodka-Orange Juice variety) onto my
 keyboard.  I disassembled my keyboard and cleaned it as well as possible.
 I used tuner cleaner.  The only persisting problem is my left C= key
 sticks some times.  (Left Amiga, for those with older keyboards).

     The only non-standard memory resident program I use is DMouse 1.07,
 but I have been using that for quite a long time.  That couldn't be
 doing it.

     Does *ANYBODY* have any ideas?  This problem is really starting to
 piss me off.

     Thank you.
