Fairly frequently, when I try to type a letter 't' on my computer, it
is replaced with a semicolon.  This seems to happen most often in Red
Ryder 10.3, but not exclusively.  It also seems to happen on another
Mac II with another keyboard.  I generally manage to catch this when
it happens, so it doesn't cause TOO many problems, but it's getting a
bit tedious.  The people at the local dealer basically shrug and say
"uhhh, I dunno...."  Admittedly, this isn't something you'd normally
expect to happen, but since it IS happening, I'd like to find a solution.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen before?  Can anyone suggest
a cure?  I've tried the standards of rearranging ADB cables (sorry, I
forgot to mention it's a Mac II with Apple Extended Keyboard and the
standard mouse) to no avail.

Please e-mail replies.  I will summarize to the net as appropriate.
Thanks for your help!
