How 'bout something a little closer to home: I was pretty shocked the day someone walked up to me and informed me that rapid-firing the power key by itself would power off my NeXT. I've been able to reproduce the result, but not every time. This was on my soon- to-be-upgraded 0.8 machine, anyone care to try this with 0.9 and see if they kept the feature? -Steve Mattson Computer Aided Engineering Network University of Michigan hobbes@caen.engin.umich.edu >From: zelenski@lindy.Stanford.EDU (Julie Zelenski)
