I have more information today, and I have my boy to thank for it. Looking over his shoulder, we experienced the issue again on the xo keyboard, behaving as if caps lock was on, except that  the xo keyboard does not have a caps lock key. My 9yr old then connected the usb external keyboard, and proceeded to verify the caps lock issue, and by pressing caps lock on this external keyboard, fixed the problem for all but the period key. When this did not work, he went over to the keypad to use the period key and it worked! we were able to type a web address, including the .com!  When this problem shows itself, eventually, the computer will be unable to acquire web pages (at least from the olpc wiki buttons that come up when the browser is invoked. A reboot always fixes the problem. Could this be a memory overwriting problem?
