Use a pencil like I an doing

TNP has probably nicked it, his keyboard seems worse than most!

I deny itt, itt wasn'tt me, I wasn'tt even tthere, you can'tt prove anytthing.

Someone's waiting to play a "cup of T" joke on you later. Be sure to smile graciously before you punch them. :-)

Mines lost the A. But I fooled it. I know where it USED to be

spill a bit of drink in the keyboard. I did last week and one key would bring up multiple strokes of various others. (Respect to Logitech who built it so I could take it to bits and wash and dry the various layers. Now the dodgy typing is all down to my fingers again.)

Tangentially, the funniest thing I've seen on a computer is that program that makes all the text characters fall down and lie in a pile at the bottom of the screen. It was quite disturbing for people who were very ignorant of computer matters. There aren't many of them now.

Broken nose experience optional....

I ordered a set of engineers letter punches once, came with two Ns and no M... Soon ran into trouble attempting to stamp my name on something!

Oddly, the past fortnight has seen an apostrophe fault come and go on mine. I think it was humidity related.

My ol' Model M stutters occasionally - although I suspect the real culprit might be the USB adapter widget that it's plugged into (or even Linux's USB code)

Ahh, I wrote one of those many years ago - great fun could be had! (I first saw the effect as part of a virus - or rather, a simulated virus, back in the early days of AV software* when they'd release such simulations, presumably so you could see what being hit by the real thing might look like)

• McAfee, possibly.

ahh, neuron burp - I think the virus in question was called cascade, wasn't it? (although I can't remember for sure the name of the AV vendor who provided a simulation of it)

cheers

Huh, do you mean the whole kiy top the switch or the transfer?

The key top!

It'll be your neighbour nipping in for revenge, which one is missing this morning?

Have you checked the ceiling? George W Bush found the Ws on every keyboard in the Whitehouse had been removed and re-attached in strange places like the ceiling.

I have the same problem using Opera on a laptop.
