	Oops, glad you reminded me of that...I had totally forgotten that
it did do that :(  I've been trying everyone's suggestions on how to see
where the problem is too...

	But it still leaves us effectively nowhere.  

	It happens with screen...it happens without screen...
	It happens with or without keyboard activity...
	It happens with or without a keyboard extendor...
	It happens with two different keyboards...
	And so far...
	I have yet to find it happen any more then randomly...
