I had this happening back when I was running Hamm and Slink was a few months from release. At the time I had a spiffy black keyboard with a DIN5 (matching my machine) and has just purchased an offwhite `multimedia' keyboard. I found the black keyboard worked fine and the offwhite generated random spurious backquotes. Interestingly enough I haven't seen them for a number of years. I still have the mobo and CPU from that machine (though in a different case) and the same offwhite keyboard, which I'm using right now, actually. I'm also running a Belkin fourport CVM switch.
I'm pretty sure it's mostly hardware-related, at least in my case. You might try excorcising the keyboard cable. ;> (it might work just as well as anything else) On Tue, 11 Jan 2000, Randy Edwards wrote: > I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with the > latest potato. > > I get random, occasional single quote characters (`) which appear in what > apps I happen to be using.
