- In the last issue of NeXTWORLD, there is a serious technical error on page 89.
-
- In the article "Sysadmin Hints and Tips," by Daniel Miles Kehoe and Seth T.
- Ross, readers are instructed to put their machine into single user mode by
- pressing "both Command keys and the tilde (~) key simultaniously to get the NMI
- monitor." The users are then instructed to type "monitor" to get the NeXT into
- ROM monitor.
-
- This is wrong. You should type "halt" to get the machine to do a clean
- shut-down.
-
- We're sorry for the missprint.
