[sci.electronics] My very TOUCHY lamp

	Recently I went out and bought one of those touch lamps.  But,
I seem to have one problem with it, it seems to have a mind of its own.
It will randomly turn on and off, sometimes frequenly and sometimes not
at all.  We have tried to figure out why my lamp seems to respond to 
something else other than touch.  We've had several ideas from loud noises
to intense brain waves:-)
	Is there someone out there who knows how these lamps work and what
may be causing mine to have a personality problem?
