[Ti] Slow keyboard

[Murray Kastner]

How sweet it is! I can type normally again. Perhaps one of our cracks 
can explain the nitty gritty. Here's the story:

I had installed an APC PowerChute battery back-up. Then it dawned on me 
that a PowerBook has its own battery! So I disconnected it. But each 
time I would restart, I'd get a dialogue box telling me that I needed 
to connect the UPS. Now that I have scoured my Prefs and PrefPanes 
(Library), I'm back to normal keyboard response. I also trashed 
Macaroni prefs as I tried it and decided I did not need it.

Does this make a case for Uninstallers to be included with software 
installers?

I'd love to hear the background to this scenario, and perhaps warnings 
against arbitrarily trashing prefs, as I did,
