The computer is a PowerMac 5400/200, with a 1.6GB IDE hard drive, 72MB RAM
The menu and wallpaper appear, and I can move the mouse. When I hit the
power button to shut it down, only the restart button appears, yet I cannot
use the power button to shut the machine off; I have to use the power switch
on the back.
