MBP Lock Lights
So, I have an interesting issue with my MBP. It's a 15" mid-2007 model with 10.5.2
I turned it on tonight, and both the Caps Lock and the Num Lock lights were lit up. I turned them off, and started logging into Gmail, and noticed that despite the fact that the lights were off, the Locks were engaged.
I hit each of them again to light them up, and now everything is fine.
So, somehow, my Caps and Num lock lights have gotten confused, and are doing the opposite thing of what they're indicating.
I went into System Prefs and reset everything I could on the keyboard back to default. No luck.
It's odd, because when I used the computer this morning, everything was just fine. Then it sat turned off all day untouched while I was at work, and when I turned it on again, it was doing this.
I've not installed anything new on here for several weeks, and certainly not in between the time when it was working fine this morning and going wonky tonight.
Any thoughts?

Why isn't anything raisin-flavored?

Re: MBP Lock Lights
Well, rebooting solved the problem.
The only thing I can think of that was the slightest bit different was that I plugged an external FW drive into the MBP as it was booting up. But, I've done that many times before and it never triggered the lock lights.
Strange little glitch, but it appears to have been totally temporary.
