Genius Bar blues

OK, so it wasn’t really the blues, but it could have easily turned into it. I went to the local Apple store Genius Bar to get some tech support. Apparently one of my two darling children got a little excited about a movie or something and a couple of the keys became stuck and offset. [...]
