My keyboard is really weird, I have a wireless keyboard and on REEEALY Hot days some of my keys dosent work like you see I did on Tango's holiday reply. I have to put the fan really close to my keyboard to make it work again but sometimes it dosent always work, its working fine now(I thought it wouldn't). So please excuse me if I mispell any of the posts or esc in Air Attack unexpectedly.
Thanks

Winger, It could be something as simple as a weak battery. .. I'm not a fan of wireless devices when it come to Computing. I just don't think that they are at the point where they are totally reliable.
The reason I say this is, a few years ago an old co worker of mine who worked in the drafting department of our contract glazing company was a very high tech kind of guy. We went to the boss and convinced him that he needed to convert his mouse and keyboard to a wireless set up. The boss said ok, go pick out what you want and charge to the company. Being a thrifty guy, he did not go out and buy the most expensive stuff, but a set up that he thought would do the job he needed.
About week after getting his wireless keyboard and mouse he was finalizing the shop drawings for a mulit-million dollar glazing project for a hi-rise condominium we had the contract on. We had on particular aluminum curtain wall frame that was the basis for almost every window in the condo. Kind of a one size fits all with in a 1/2" or so.
The frame size was 79" x 144" with each frame divided into 3 glass panel with a horizontal mullion.
One single drawing that showed the frame and the height and width, as well as the mullion location and it's size between that verticals. A pretty simple layout. Nothing fancy. The project was located about 250 miles from us in South Florida. So the best way to handle that is to build the frames by the truck load. We could put approximately 250 frames in to a tractor trailer, and we filled 3 trailers, 750 frames, before the first one was fit into the opening. The problem?? The frames were 3 inches to short in width and fell through the openings. You cant cover an 1 1/2" gap on each side of the frame to make it structurally sound.
So now what we had was a pretty large pile on scrap metal headers, horizontals and sills. 750 headers & Sills 1500 horizontals ($15,780.00 cost) and 1200 hours of wasted man hours ($79,140.00) to take the frames back to the shop disassemble them, order new materials, re-cut and fabricate them and reassemble them and take them back to the job to install.
So how does all of this effect the wireless keyboard. Simple when the batteries got low (and only after 1 weeks use) when he would sometimes push the 9 key on the number pad, it would place a 6 there in it's place. Not every time, but just every now and then. It just so happens that it did it when my buddy was making the shop drawing for this one size frame.
He nearly lost his job over it, but the problem was found when someone else was typing up and invoice and kept coming up with the wrong price for a simple tube of caulk that we sold $9.99 and the invoice stated $6.66.
The boss said out with the wireless, and my buddy agreed.
