I've been playing with my PB G4. Wireless and 10/100/1000bT wired net-
working and I've even configured PPP modem dialup. I can use all of the
myriad networking interfaces on the PB G4 without ever being prompted to
reboot. I recently changed an internal network from 192.168.100.0 to
192.168.2.0. Three times I was prompted to and forced to reboot the ol'
PeeCee -- four if you consider that I also needed to change the address
in the PeeCee for the LNCO2.

It does. I don't know the PeeCee shortcuts save for CTRL-ALT-DEL so I
can't comment, compare or contrast the quantities of the shortcuts. I
do know that the Apple's keyboard shortcuts can be easily customised
in the System Preference app as well as many of the software packages
that I've installed to date.
