Tthe Num Lock should be renamed humilator key. Just as soon as you think you are a whiz on the Powermac a lit Num Lock comes along and bites your arrogance freezing half your keyboard and brain in the process. lol Benn Overkamp pointed this problem out the first time it happened to me. I gotta hand it to Benn, he was kind enough to only do one LOL at me. And you want to know the sad part...I still have a mental Kernal Panic whenever it happens even today. Half the keyboard and my brain freezes then I gasp, "Oh yeah, check the Dumb Lock!" lol MBurke > At 5:20 PM -0400 2003.07.20, John Griffin wrote: > >> So, let's be honest here.
