How about that, we just happened to have a power outage here too.  I
pressed the power button on my Mac it came up.  I pressed the power
key on my NeXT it also came up (after it fixed the filesystems which
took perhpas 2 or 3 minutes).  So what does all this mean?  Think
about it.

Trying to be nice and not flame too hard,
