Does this following scene happen to you?

You're sitting at your Amiga 2000, typing really really really fast,
or simply typing to fill a text file with meaningless data,
so, you hit about 30 keys at a time, or run your fingers along
one line, like a piano keyboard to get in as much keyboarding
in a short time.

All of a suddon: >POOF< Your amiga reboots and you feel like
it's time to, uh oh, go Mac.

We've all had our machines just spontaneously reboot. It's a fact
of AmigaHood, but, we learn to controll it and figure out what we
did so we dont do that series of events again - but this is different...
 
It happens WHENEVER I type reeeeeeeelly fast... hit several keys at time,
or generally really go fast on the keys.
 
And if any of you think I'm accidentially hitting contol, amiga, and amiga
at the same time... Uh, NO!

Lemme know if this has happened to you, and if yes, how you fixed it.

It seems to happen less, the further I jam in the keyboard to the A2000
receptacle...
But, even that doesnt stop the spontaneous reboot when I smack the keys.
 
Also, are amiga's keys pressure sensitive??? Nah...Cant be.
