I logged in and was typing along. I wanted to send a zephyr to a friend.
I did. My friends user name ends with an 'r'. After I sent the message,
Every window I put my mouse in started typing 'r's. It acted like the
key was being held down and so it was repeating. The keyboard responded
to other keys and they didn't repeat. They were just surrounded by 'r's.
I logged out. When the login screen came up, the username area filled up
with r's and the machine kept beeping, so I shut it off. This happened
around 9:30 pm on Tuesday night.
