It most often happens when i'm running netscape. I'll right click to back
up, or download an image or whatever, and the mouse button "stick." The box
that popped up when i right clicked stays there when i let go AND it won't
let me click on anything else, w/ any of the buttons. The keboard hangs,
too...or at lest seems to...i can hit "Stop, A" and then "boot" to reboot the
terminal...but that's it.
