[muglo] Re: Restarting Beige G3

Thx Eric,
I didn't find any reset or program buttons on the reverse (guess I'll 
have to wrestle that tangle of wires back there to have another look).

None of the keyboard suggestions can be used if the keyboard and 
mouse isn't responding. By failing to respond, I mean a) the mouse 
doesn't respond to the trackball (mouse) and keys on keyboard fail to 
cause any effect - ie dead.

I wasn't trying to reset anything by unpluggung/plugging trackball 
(at the ball). I just found that it sometimes solved the problem.

(One thing I hadn't mentioned, which could have some effect, was that 
I use the same monitor and keyboard for two computers - a 7100 and 
the G3 - controlled by a switch box)
