Actually with one of my Eiffels' from Alan's batch (the other is canbus 
so not really relevant here) I am having it behave as though a control 
or alt key is stuck when it really isn't.  It makes it so in jinnee the 
context menu always comes up on a left click and some other strange 
quirks.   What is strange about this is that it doesn't seem to happen 
with my old eiffel and it doesn't show up on the eiffel lcd keycode 
display.  I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

Thanks,
