I came home from dinner the other night to find my Mac II running.  My
immediate conclusion was that I had left it on for a few days since the
last time I had used it.  So I shut it down from the Finder menu only
to have it restart as soon as the power went off.  So I yanked the ADB
cord out of the extended keyboard and shut it down again.  This time it
stayed down.

My first idea was that it was related to the high humidiy we had with
the rain on that day.  My hypothesis was that there was a bunch of
moisture shorting the power key in the keyboard.  Since then it's been
very dry, but the Mac continues to restart itself, usually taking a few
minutes or an hour before restarting.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to exocise this evil presence from my
system?
