I know you're right. But you know how one feels when something like this goes wrong! Still, I have to wonder why my keyboard acts differently now, immediately after reflashing my OS. It is strangely different - not just different. This justifies (in my mind) the suspicion which I related!

One wonders, can the keyboard firmware be tampered with? Let me reiterate: The keyboard comes on when I open it up. I do not have to press Ctrl-Fn-Fn to get the green led to bounce. The keyboard goes off when the Nate delivers the four digit access code, and rejects the process as soon as I repower. I have been following other threads in which the BT Keyboard owner has this problem. They, however did not specify that the keyboard shuts off.

Is it ok to use the Nate while it is charging? Does anybody know? I do not want to assume, though I normally would, historically.....
