looking for more fish? (GBWG)

if your system is freezing, put a heavy blanket around it to keep
it warm.

if the power button is on top of machine, holding it _down_ is ok.

if power button is on the front, holding it _in_ would work better.

your alternatives would be pulling power cord from back of machine
or removing power cord plug from wall.

main thing is, does machine freeze often and what is causing it
to freeze up.
