    Tried that. Actually, I first had to eliminate a non-powered 4-port USB
hub from the mix when it seemed to be causing some instant-off issues.
Nothing like getting near the end of a rather large document and having the
system just "click" and it's off... Can you say "ARGH!"

    So now, just the mouse --> keyboard --> USB port, nothing else attached.
