I've actually met Murphy several times on this issue -- but *every* time holding down the power button for 5 seconds has failed for me, it's because a capacitor had exploded on the motherboard or power supply. IME, if holding the power button down for 5 seconds doesn't work, your hardware has much bigger problems... (Still, this is something that should be configurable.) -Barry K. Nathan <barryn@xxxxxxxxx>
