The only way I can think of was unplug the power cord. Well, the Mac was still running, though it was probably stuck on something...if the background picture is there the system is still running. You can hold the power button down for ~20 seconds to force a power- off. Easier than reaching around and yanking the cord. Just hold the power button down until it goes off. > > This happened once last month. I would like to ask is there something > I need to worry about or I can just ignore this? If it's happened just once, nah, it's not a problem.
