It's called resetting the power ram and no, it's not familiar to all 
experienced mac users because many of us have never needed it but thanks for 
the tip.

I've been able to recover from a bad windows install with out it.

A few days back I had written about the way I completely messed up my Mac
Mini by trying to install Windows Vista with Bootcamp.
I was getting no startup screen, the option key did not bring up a boot
menu.
However, by holding down command option p r at startup, the machine came up
talking with Voiceover again.
I am sure that this key combination is familiar to experienced Mac users, so
I'm glad I found out about it as well.
I think that I'll pay the fine folks at the Apple store to install Windows
the next time around!

Thanks.
