- Unplug the monochrome monitor??? Remember, the mono gets its power from the
- cube/slab. Tis not a good thing to disconnect things from a NeXT that is
- powered up (unless it is in the monitor mode). There has already been a
- discussion on the pros and cons of disconnecting SCSI devices when the NeXT is
- powered up....

- This is fixed in release 3.0. The printer does not come on until you are
- ready to print except for the occasional random powerup...
