but interesting to know: what happens if you turn the machine on again.
Everything working OK (that's what you expect in Windows!) or still hanging in some early stage or hanging again after 10 minutes? Try and tell.

OSX10.4.11 Safari 3.1.1
Got ready for morning activity. iMac was on from overnight. Loaded mail and usual web pages. Then nothing would close with mouse. Nothing would force quit. Nothing would move with mouse. Spotlight would not open. Waited for a while. Still no luck. Tried to Shut down. Would not respond. Finally tried pushing off button. No response. So I unplugged it from wall.
I know I did the wrong thing.
No new software added.
Only recent updates are the recommended ones to Safari, iTues, and Security.
What is the right thing?
(Yes, I did a search of this forum. I reckon I didn't ask the right question. Sorry.)
Thanks.
