[Ti] 500Mhz spacebar failing?

[Steve Martin]

Actually, the "button" is only under the center of the keyboard. It is 
one of those little rubber "bubble" type things. I guess the spacebar 
may have bowed down on the edges so that pressing on the sides no 
longer presses the middle down far enough. But it failed rather 
suddenly so that doesn't exactly make sense.
