Juri -

I think that you are correct - and have one - small - piece of subtle
evidence to support that position.

While it has been a while since I have seen the repeating key issue,
from time to time I have noted that there is a lag of a few seconds
between the keyboard and the screen.

There is no way an old man lke myself is out-typeing his hardware. This
is on a lightly loaded, dual core system with a few gig of memory.

Thanks

Chris
