Hi David, If you're using OS8 or OS9 on your iBook, could it be that the Keyboard preferences have become corrupt? If you go: Macintosh HD>System>preferences and look for the keyboard preference file, drag it to the trash and restart the machine, this might help cure the problem. Otherwise, I would go to the Apple menu at the top left of the screen, select 'Keyboard', and play around with the key repeat rate, though I'm guessing my first solution might be the cure more than the second one. On an entirely separate note, I'm stuck playing Zork 1. I've flooded the dam #3 control rooms and can't operate the maintenance panel with the green bubble on it. Any ideas?
