I'll be working along, and all of the sudden most of my keys don't work. It seems that Command-Tab works for switching windows, but I can't type anything. If I log out, and log back in, I can type again, but this morning its happened twice in 1.5 hours.

Has anyone heard of this issue before? It used to happen on my iBook every once in a while.

2X2 Ghz G5 1GB Ram running BBEdit 6.1, Transit 2.6.2, Firefox 1.0, current iTunes, current Adium, iChat, and CSSEdit. I only mention software because I don't think its hardware related, as it was happening with the iBook, and I'm not sure it OS X, because I can't find anyone else complaining about it.

It doesn't happen very often, but twice in as many hours is not good.

Anyone have any idea what is going on?
