This implies you're using your left hand to press the keys Cmd-Opt-P-R. If you're using your left hand, and the thumb is on the Cmd-Opt keys, this only works if you're pressing Cmd-Opt on the right side of the space bar. Now you're saying your Cmd-Opt are on the left side of the space bar, but this only works for me using the right hand. The left hand is then free to press the Power button on the Mac. I don't understand how you could use your left hand thumb to press Cmd- Opt on the left side of the space bar, and then press the P & R with your left index (pointer) and pinky unless you have monster size hands or a tiny keyboard? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
