I believe it is the keyboard itself.  Removing the Easy Access INIT never
seemed to do anything.  We had a Extended Keyboard in for repair twice
because the command/options/shift keys were getting stuck.  Pulling up the
Key Caps DA showed them being held down.  Bashing the keyboard a couple
times sometimes helped.
