[Ti] Spacebar sticks down...

[J]

Thanks, this seems exactly what is wrong. I used a plastic tool that is 
a mold of a dental probe and gently tried to 're-hook' the right  hand 
side and hope it works for now as I'm off to the state capitol to take 
3 hours of notes!

If it doesn't work I will bring it down to MacEdge in Nashua NH on 
Monday and have copied them on this problem (I called in a panic last 
night) Perhaps they can give me a spare part they might have lying 
around or rehook it permanently.
