	Well, old mountain man from back of beyond that I am, I have 
known people think I might could exaggerate a tad bit at times ...

	Anyway, the only time I ever see any light turn yellow, or even 
blink, is when I power one up after having had it off. (I turn them off 
during power failures, and do that plus unplug the whole shebang from the 
wall any time I expect to be away overnight or longer.)
