    WTF

    UM ... MY CAPSLOCK HAS ... LOCKED. AS YOU SEE. I CANNOT TYPE LOWER-CASE NO MATTER WHAT I DO. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? THINGS WERE NORMAL FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND THEN ... THIS.

    KEYBOARD IS TOAST, MAYBE ... ?

          DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND KICK YOU WITH MY ORTHOPEDIC SHOES ...

          I'VE TRIED GOOGLING IT AND I SEE MICROSOFT COMMUNITY HAS SOME SUGGESTIONS ... BUT WHEN I TRY TO SEE THEM, I GET A NOTICE SAYING MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN 'TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED' AND THEY NEED TO SEND A CODE TO MY PHONE ... SAY WHAT? THE WARNING CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY GMAIL ADDRESS, YET I CAN ACCESS THAT ADDRESS NO PROBLEM. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE EITHER.

              THANK YOU, ERICKEI ... BUT MY COMPUTER IS A MAC MINI. I DON'T THINK IT EVEN HAS THE 'STICKY KEYS' FUNCTION ON IT. WOULD MICROSOFT OFFICE HAVE THAT? I DO HAVE OFFICE FOR MACS INSTALLED.

                    Complete power off. Not just a reboot.

                      SO ... TURN THE WHOLE MACHINE OFF FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT?

                      I'LL GIVE IT A TRY.

                        Maybe a whipping boy computer... put it in the freezer for a few hours, pull it out covered in frost, and tell your bad prince(ss)let: "See what's going to happen to you!"

                          I'LL JUST THREATEN THIS ONE WITH THE VACUUM, THANKS.

                          I JUST PULLED A COUPLE OF KEYS OFF TO SEE IF IT WAS DIRTY ...

                          HOLY JUMPING JEHOSHAPHAT IN A SIDECAR.

                          PRETTY SURE THERE IS HOSTILE ALIEN LIFE EVOLVING UNDER THOSE KEYS.

                          I MIGHT JUST GO TO STAPLES TOMORROW AND PICK UP A CHEAP KEYBOARD. I DON'T THINK EVEN A CAN OR TWO OF COMPRESSED AIR IS GOING TO SHIFT THIS MESS, UNLESS I TAKE THE KEYS OFF TWO OR THREE AT A TIME AND BLAST IT. AND THEN I'M NOT SURE IT'LL FIX THE PROBLEM.

                            Don't have to leave it off for the night. Just a few seconds.

                            However, it sound like you found the problem.

                              NO ...I STARTED PULLING THE CRAP OUT, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE CAPSLOCK KEY, AND AS YOU SEE, NOTHING'S CHANGED ... PERHAPS IT HAS DONE SOMETHING PERMANENT ...

                              I'LL TRY TURNING IT OFF AND LEAVING IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SEE IF THAT HELPS.
