I did something weird to my powerbook
whenever I press any kind of function key, like shift, function, control, or apple, a little white picture of the key comes up on the screen, and "locks" that key. So if I press apple, and LET GO of it, everything I do is as if I was still pressing apple!!! I must have done this by accident somehow. How do I make it go away?

2. You have Sticky Keys turned on...
It's a setting in the Universal Access System Preference..(if using OS X)

Turn it off and you should be ok.

3. YAY thanks
I guess I had it set so if you press shift five times, it turns on sticky keys. Fixed.
