Think about your issue.* Sounds like you are running it 24/7.
If by "your issue", you mean my keyboard funny, that comes and goes
- as I've said, I think it's some sequence of actions I do that
triggers it and clears it, but I haven't worked out what - whether
the machine has been running one day or several. Other than that
funny, the machine seems happy with the 24'7: I'm pretty sure I've
had it do more than a week, possibly getting on for two.

You can get away with that with Linux, sometimes Mac, but not
Windows.
I seem to.

Hi John,

That is not what you are describing.

I see tons of Windows machines that have not been rebooted
in days having weird symptoms. What you describe it typically
one of the symptoms: keyboard acting weird.

1. I am pretty sure I've had it during the first day after a restart;
certainly, the _incidence_ does not seem to _increase_ the more days I
leave the machine running.

2. It seems to be triggered by something I do, though I haven't _quite_
pinned down what yet (though I have a strong feeling it's some Ctrl-key
combination); it doesn't just happen.

3. By fiddling about (switching to Notepad+, pressing various keys, etc.
- I haven't isolated anything specific yet) I can make the problem go
away; it's been many weeks, months I think, since it's been so bad that
I've had to do a reboot. That doesn't sound, to me, as if it's in any
way due to long up time.

4. You describe "keyboard acting weird." Would you care to give more
detail? When I first asked about this a few months ago, I don't think
anyone else had quite the same behaviour.
