[QUOTE="aging elderly, post: 1391622, member: 247028"] [b]successful turn-off; also: virus worries for Macs[/b] Stretch: You'll have to hard shutdown then. Hold the Power button until it shuts off... aging elderly: Thanks Stretch! That did it. That was the Dr. Spock strangle thing that I couldn't quite remember. For folks like me, it's counter-intuitive to keep pressing what feels like the on button, ignoring the computer's polite question...feels like strangling. But it had to be done. Then I quickly updated my Java for Mac software [OS X 10.5 Udate 10 version 1], feeling like a pro. Supposedly Macs are in some danger this week, according to the article below. Are other people worried about this?
