following some suggestions by some posters I now know "there is something wrong" with my PowerBook :(

one poster said that their powerbook wakes up if they nock the desk to hard (moves external mouse) and another said it wakes when they plug in the external keyboard both of these jolted my memory and can recall that this is exactly what my Powerbook used to do when I first got it but for some reason has stopped doing this.

any ideas on what plist file to butcher etc?
time to google again :(
