I'd say it's probably a bad keyboard. If not, I'd be really curious myself what the problem was.
Years ago I had a keyboard where one of the shift keys sometimes didn't work, but the other always did. Are both shift keys not working for you?
I suppose "use the other shift key" might not be the best work-around.
You know--I have absolutely no clue. That will be tomorrow's first test. Holding the shift key down with the right hand. I just went with my hand's reflexes, and that's the only way to capitalise the letter. Things are so different with a brain in the picture.... But why would a keyboard blitz one letter? I mean, I guess they are that complicated inside it's not remotely like a set of mechanical equivalences, shift + any key having the same issues.
God, computers! What is your problem!

I think you just picked our next thread title.
finally updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1 from 5.x. So far, the one thing that is pissing me off is the mail app. Anyone know how to turn OFF the VIP and Starred "accounts" stuff?
I never tried OS/2. I hear it was pretty sweet, but missed that window. Then, not having a clue what I was doing, I ended up using basically nothing but the LEAST user-friendly linux distros for years (slackware then gentoo - compiled absolutely everything from source like a real man!). But hey, I learned a lot.
I've got a web form that takes people's names & addresses and some other info. In google chrome, the autofill puts the zip code into both the zip code field AND the country field. Any idea why it would do this and how to prevent it? My google-fu is failing me.
I used OS/2 for a little bit. I even went to one of the regional launch events. We never ended up actually deploying it though.
My first OS/2 felt like quite the coup. I was an AS/400 programmer at the time (good lord--how things change...), and we didn't have what I considered adequate development environments (and some things stay the same...), so I convinced the boss to set up a really local area netwok with the only three PCs in the company, running OS/2, connected to the AS/400s, and also emulating the AS/400 environment so we could run our code more properly through its paces before deploying to production.
And I *seriously* hadn't recalled that until now.
When I thought about installing OS/2 for the first time, i was actually thinking of the Lotus Notes deployment I did (again convincing bosses who had no clue that it was the second coming) at my second job. We got swept past Notes in the end--between Groupwise and VB and Access (and eventually PHP and MySQL, but by that time I wasn't telling the bosses what infrastructure components I was using) we got the functionality elsewhere.
First job I got in LA was a Notes shop, and is some ways it was like dropping 10 years back into the past. Good lord.
I remember selling OS2 when I worked for Egghead. I also remember that Egghead used OS2 for the computers that ran store operations at each location.
