Hiya,

    For those of you who do not remember or have not read... A little
while ago I posted an article about some strange keyboard behaviour.
Namely, if you press the following combination of keys at the same
time (or to quickly) you get garbage generated :

	u t space
	m p comma
	m minus comma

    I asked what the problem was due to.

    Well, it is the KEYBOARD, not anything else. I have isolated the
problem to the keybaord and can duplicated it on most machines (ci,
II, SE, SE/30).

    The solution... My keboard is still under AppleCare, I took it in
to our microstore, and they are replacing it. If your keyboard is not
under AppleCare, I suggest you bug Apple to do a recall and
replacement.

    I have found the problem in at least 2 keyboards, and others have
told me of the same problem. (Are you listening Apple ?)

	maurice
