It will but only when you don't need it to. The Q800 does respond to Command-Control-Power but apparently the code to do this is readily trampled on by a program that has run amok. So if a program has hung up then it probably won't work. But if the computer is working okay you can hit Command-Control-Power and it will restart. Fortunately it has the front panel buttons. I think most other models have the functionality built into the ADB chip or something and do the restart in hardware as most seem to restart with Command-Control-Power from almost anything. > >Ahhahahaha yes, how silly of me to forget.

Q800 has front panel buttons for reset and programmers switch, power button is on the back panel. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
