Thanks Spectro, I new that, but it just shuts down the computer and 
then you have to restart, it is not a reset as in "the good old 
days". But you are right of course, it beats "literally pulling the 
plug". I actually meant this in a general 
"complete-shut-down-and-start-up" sense. By the way, sometimes you 
really have to pull the plug because even the shutdown procedure does 
not work, but I am sure you knew that.

Cheers, Bob
