- I, too, have been having intermittent problems with my GS, which I
- am almost positive is a failing crystal or broken trace near the crystal.
- When it occurs, my problems acts as if the Option and Apple keys are

- think my power supply is heating up and working the crystal loose.
- [Pressing down the crystal seems to clear the problem up.]
