Heh. I was wondering about that, but the USB keyboard that I have does not include a power-on key... My mac was not responding to anything on the keyboard, and attempts to ssh into the box were timing out, so I held down the power button on the back of the Mac-mini for a few (10?) seconds. That successfully powered it down, and then I powered it back up. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
