have you ever typed "from" and had it come out "frlom?" That is the
parallelogram bug. Press any three keys that form three corners of a
parallelogram on the keyboard and they ghost to produce the fourth
corner character. The parallelogram has two keys on the same row and 
the third on another. The decoding logic then proves the keyboard is
not setup for "n key rollover".
