Back down in the slow zone...

elfsI've shut down the laptop untl the part it needs can arrive. In the meantime, I'm back down on the desktop, which is a 2001-model with a 1.2GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, and an annoying tendency to drop characters from the keyboard during I/O. It also sometimes misses a 'keyup' event, which can be seriously deleterious since I use the ALT and CTRL keys a lot, and more often than I'd like the machine suddenly starts acting as if it's in some weird modality I didn't request. Hitting the key seems to help.
It's gonna be a long week. This machine is so small I can run one of Thunderbird, Liferea, or Firefox at any given time, so if you send me email and I'm even slower than usual, you'll know why.
