Oh, I just thought of something. I was wondering if I had done anything 
especially different recently (other than moving files around, etc.), and it 
occurs to me, yes. 

I have an external Logitech keyboard and mouse, with one of those tiny 
receiver dongles that I plug into any unpowered Belkin USB 4-port hub. 
Otherwise I just use it for flash drives. 

However ... I was doing some experiments with my smartphone, and discovered 
that I can use my external keyboard and mouse with my phone, which is useful 
for sending texts, because I refuse to use autocorrect crap. 

Now, I wonder, could my switching the keyboard from my laptop to my phone, 
then back to the laptop, have caused something weird to happen?
