[Ham-Mac] sleep

That may be the case. I do have an older USB hub attached here, and I 
have now removed it. One reboot worked, at any rate. Also, a SAFE 
MODE boot also worked, so maybe this is hardware-related. Perhaps 
it's the older Canon Scanner, which also was plugged into the hub 
this weekend as well.

This was a good suggestion (as were all of them).

At my other home, I have a similar iMac with a newer hub that gives 
me no problem.

As I chase this down, I'll report back here, although it's not 
ham-related. If you guys don't want me to continue the saga, tell me 
and I'll stop.

Remember the good ole days of Conflict Catcher??

I have not (yet) upgraded to Tiger. I'm running 10.3.9 and I'm 
perfectly happy with it (so far). I think I'll just wait for the next 
pussycat.
