"Has anybody else noticed any correlation between rapid sequences of
keystrokes (involving multiple backspaces) and the appearance of the Phantom?"
I think that Scott has sort of hit the nail on the head. But heck if
I can get the creature to show up at my beckoning. I wonder if it takes
a certain combination of keys that occur upon fatfingering. That would
explain why it is so difficult to get the critter to show up.
Furthermore, I still feel that it is on the keyboard side and not the
motherboard side. Seems the fact that it has happened also with Spectre
would be a significant clue.
