Check your QT Preferences, specifically the Transport Protocol. For some
bizarre reason, every update of QT defaults the Transfer Protocols back to
UDP. No one seems to know what the hell UDP is or why the hell Apple
defaults back to it.

Change your settings manually to HTTP and Port 80. I'd bet the issues clear
up.

Keyboards, like mice, are very personal things. Some like the Apple
keyboards, others don't. I personally like they old ADB "Clackety clack"
ones that made a hellacious racket. Matias Corp makes a "replica" of it.
