[CoLoCo] need help with keyboard issue...

[Ryan Taylor]

Thanks for the advice...I tried it, but that did not work...

Unfortunately I do not have another keyboard laying around...perhaps it is
time to buy a new one?  I would think it was the keyboard a bit more, but
the keys always works every other time...it is not random like a key
sticking or something...

Thanks!
