You're probably right because of the message, and Laurent might very well be
right that the culprit was the fact that SleepAid was frozen.
You were also right that it was FixTrax and it's from
Config Informationstechnik eG and you'll find the package on
http://www.config.de/Products/
But the description from the website is: "FixTrax 1.0 for NOS 2.0
(MP120/130) is a Fix for the problem, that the Newton switches off
immediately after switching it on. FixTrax is freeware! "
so I guess I wasn't too far off track, just trying anyway ;-)
