Here's another cute bug, but this one is Apple's...

In Solarian II, to fire the scissors, you have to hit the
l;' 3-key combination.  On Extended ADB keyboards, this isn't
a problem.  The 3-key combination will register.  BUT, on
Standard ADB keybaords, it's impossible to register those
3 keys at the same time.

Other than that, Solarian II is a GREAT game.  I only wish I had
a Mac II so I could play it.  *sigh*
