David,

Not a prob - we do in fact use the power switch to turn our
Newtons on. Just a thought about potentially being a time
and wear/tear saver. We can power off and reset via software.
Why not a keyboard scan?...

Thanks again for a great product. I'm ready for the next
hack from the lab of David Humphreys!
