Well, if you remember, I was the one who posted a while back saying that
I had a disk with many files of the same name (thanks to those who
replied).  Well, I'm back with an even more bizzar error.  As I was
typing the last message I posted about the megneto optical drive in the
capture buffer of Flash, strange things started happening.  As I typed
in 'ing ' at the end of a word, the computer started hiccupping.  I
still got the "key-click" sound, but it wouldn't disply what I typed,
instead it kept duplicating the 'ing ' of the last word I typed.  After
it did this about 15 times, the system froze with 2 bombs, and I had to
reset.  When it duplicated the 'ing ', it did it at the same speed that
I had originally typed it in, and as it reached the end of the line,
Flash still triggered its wrap-around.

If anyone could figure this out, they sure deserve a pat on the back!

PS
      I had just tried to log onto a mainframe, but I got tons of
garbage (I think it was noise).  I hungup and loged on again and again
got some garbage.  The strange thing is that the garbage of both logons
was the same ie it displayed the same characters.
