~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen the Phantom strike in both Word Writer and 1st Word Plus. In
both cases, his appearance always immediately followed some keyboard
confusion on my part. In particular, I would type too fast and botch it
up, try to backspace quickly, botch that up, try to type the correction,
generally just hitting an awful lot of keys in quick succession. It's
kind of spooky the way the Phantom seems to get fed up with my
incompetence and begins to do the typing himself. Unfortunately, he is
a much slower typist than me.
Has anybody else noticed any correlation between rapid sequences of
keystrokes (involving multiple backspaces) and the appearance of the Phantom?
