[G4] G4 Startup

[Richard Dion]

I understand what you are saying, If I shutdown using the drop down 
menu like everyone else, it comes to a stop the light goes off and then 
it starts a reboot without touching anything. It's as though you choose 
the "Restart" option. I was using the on/off button under the speaker 
as a last resort. I've been using Macs for the last ten years and never 
ran across this before.

Hope someone has the answer !
