I'm having some firewood pilfered/stolen from my two woodpiles, and I'd like
to catch the folks who are doing it in the act.  It's happening in the
evening while I'm at a night class--for example, I noticed my front firewood

Hello all.  Someone gave me an older raspberry iMac 333 with
no instructions.  I can't figure out two things.  On the Mac serial
keyboard you can restart by pressing Control/Command/Start.  That doesn't
seem to work on this little iMac usb keyboard.  Is there another command?

So is there any difference between 1.1 and 2.0 cables?   Looking for
