Dude! Could you be any more stubborn? Are you seriously telling me your Mac has no power key???? You are pulling my red knee-socked leg, right????

Blu, Red doesn't know that the eject removable media key doubles as the power key and can be used to put the computer to sleep or shut it down... Press Opt-Cmd-Eject it will sleep... hold them down it will shut down.

Easier still is pressing and holding the power on button for 10 seconds.

psst...during all this, I just realized that I don't know where to put the unbent paper clip! Crisis! Panic Attack!! This MBpro is just a piece of junk, right? I should just get rid of it! Who ever heard of making a computer without a hole to stick an unbent paper clip in?? Drat! I also just found out there is no floppy drive on this ^%*(&* thing!!!

LOL!

“doesn’t know that the eject removable media key doubles as the power key”

And why would anyone know or suspect that a button designated the CD/DVD eject button would also be considered a power key? You guys really don’t see how unintuitive that is? Would it have cost Mr. Job that much to put a little light bulb or the word power next to the eject arrow?
