    heh, you want sleep problems? Any time I'd wake my cube from sleep, it
was only a matter of time before she'd shut herself off again. After trying
every fix I could find on the 'net, I finally just decided to leave her ON
all the time... And she's died on me exactly twice in the last 4 months. As
opposed to several times per week when I'd let her sleep before.

    If that's not enough, Restart and Shut Down menus don't work, nor does
the CMD-Eject keyboard shortcut. BAH! Thank heaven for sudo, I guess...

    This is on a stock 450, only hardware change is 1.5 GB RAM (up from the
old 384 it had til a month ago), running 10.3.7.
