also has no power key on the keyboard, only on the front of the machine!
I was wondering if it's even physically possible for me to do it on this

The good news is that you do not need to hold the power button for
the three chimes. You press it once, let go and then wait through
three chimes. Should be about 30 seconds of holding command option p-r.

1. OK, that sounds reasonable (although I'm still not fast enough to wait
to position my fingers on the keyboard that fast -- I have to be on the
whole thing from the beginning!). However, the PRAM zap didn't fix my

Um, it works for me to use my left hand on left side of keyboard to
press the command and option and use pointer finger to press the p and
my pinky to press the r, i can do it with no problem actually.

I must have large hands, that or difference in keyboard. I am using
one of the newer aluminum keyboards, non wireless variant. Ive never
thought of myself as having large hands, but ive been told that im a
large person, so it would make sense lol.

And, Mac laptops also have their power buttons on the keyboard too. Alas,
it wasn't my iBook (or one of my older Powerbooks) which needed the
PRAM-zap (and OF reset) -- it was the desktop machine, which has a full
