Just my luck, I was putting the finishing touches on my zmodem receive
program when... I had left my amiga 500 running by itself for a while, and
when I came back I noticed that the Caps-lock light was blinking. My first
thought was: uh oh I'm about to get it from a virus. After turning of the
machine, waiting 5 seconds and turning back on again, the light was still 
blinking. Now I knew that it was worse than I had originally thought!
My keyboard was broken. Has anyone had this happen to them, is there 
anything I can do except sending amy to Commodore and waiting for her to
come back home? Everything else seems to work fine, mouse, disk drives, the only
problem is I can't type anything. But that is a slight handicap for doing
any programming:-)

 I'll be eternally gratefull to anyone who can work a miracle, or even come
up with a little information!
