Thanks  all. I think the consensus is that the ignition switch has 
gone bad.  Wonder if I can get a 2 for 1 special at my local Audi 
parts  department.

For those who care about this sort of thing, both cars have  about 
145K on them, although we did just replace my son's ignition  
switch in February...

Maybe it's a scheduled maintenance item at  145K!

It's a scheduled maintenance item at 60, 90, and 120k.  This is what  you get 
for not following your owners manual!
 
Unfortunately, the replacement switches seem to last somewhere between 0  and 
30k miles.

PS, turning the key back slightly will usually return function to the A/C  
and other accessories.
