Larry,

My chance to experience GLOD happened when the 2400 locked up while 
innocently typing an email. I pressed the reset button on the back, 
and the machine shut down but wouldn't turn on again. After trying 
various things like pressing cmd-ctrl-on/off, holding the reset 
button for long periods, removing the battery and pressing buttons, 
etc. eventually GLOD appeared and I was hosed.

I sent it to DT&T who said they "found bad motherboard". Wish I'd 
asked for a more detailed explanation! Anyway, they repaired or 
replaced it in January 2001 and it's been fine ever since.

Best regards,
Joe
