What, are you getting it off the black market or something? "Hello, this is Turbo. The sparrow flies.... at midnight."

I know a guy. That's all I'm sayin'. :shut:

Man, you and your siblings must get really thirsty while typing.

I know that Gretchen has spilled twice on keyboards, one time chocolate milk and the other grape-cranberry juice.

My mother in law was so mad the second time!!!!!! I thought she was going to blow! :devil:

Well... I wasn't going to name names... :shut:

It was the same keyboard both times. The first time Mom cleaned it and it went back to working normally. But the second time resulted in the sticking d (and '[' ).

The keys themselves don't feel sticky, but if you type a d you might get ddd or dddddddddd. Then sometimes d's pop in randomly as I type. The left bracket is similar, but not quite as bad. I probably wouldn't even have noticed if it weren't for TOL's vB code that uses square brackets for everything.

Still, it's a minor (and temporary) nuisance, not nearly as bad as being without the 8-i-k-comma column and most of my arrow keys and number pad.
