Ward,
I have absolutely NOTHING attached to my Mac. Not even a printer. Not a
wireless network card. Nada! I pulled out the Mac book last night and it
gave me the same explanation that you have. Unfortunately it?s having a
kernel fit every time I try to shut down. I?ve only had this computer a
couple of months so I?m going to call Apple tonight and see what?s up.
