Well at least I thought so.  I was sitting here working
away.  Writing code like no bodies business.  And all of a
sudden my keyboard stop responding.  After a little further
inspection I find that its not entirely stoped but the few keys that do
work dont do what they are supposed to.

This is not a good time…. I am knee deep fighting to finish someone elses project, and my powerbook wont let me type.

Now picture me just on the edge of hysteria when I notice a
trend.  the 7 8 9 keys work,  the 0 is a / though.  All
i am getting is number and arithmetic operators…. That seems
odd.  1 2 3 dont work.  but j k l output those number.

Wait a minute….those keys have those letters on them too.  What does that mean? Oh, I guess thats what NUM LOCK does!

Can you believe it.  I actaully spent 10 minutes in
pre-hyper-freak-out-mode before I noticed the stupid little light that
tells me num lock is on.

I share this story just in case someone needed a laugh after a hard
mon…tuesday back at work.  And maybe to spare someone the panic
i just enjoyed.
