Keyboard went away


I had the darnedest thing happen today.
I was doing some email with mutt and took the mouse and
scrolled across a web address to paste in the web browser (firefox)
and I went to erase the address out of the address portion of
the browser so I could paste the new address in and the
keyboard stopped typing altogether.

I killed the gui and went to the cli and keyboard still wouldn't
type. I know that every now and then something in the X session
will cause the letters to go away on the CLI so I went ahead and
typed reset and hit enter and nothing happend.

To make a long story short I finally had to hit the reset button
and do a hard reset to get the keyboard back.

I have Slack 10.1 installed and it's been running without a hickup
since 10.1 came out. I have been using the computer all the rest
of the day today, about 7 hours and it hasn't happened since.

I guess there's not really a question here.
Just thought it was wierd or weird or weerd or weard.
Strange, anyway.
