The entire Mac. I can1t remember exactly what happened, but I couldn1t do
much of anything anywhere. It was no big deal - I was able to use the
mouse
to reboot.


no way to diagnose that now, but nothing is perfect.


I finally remembered what actually happened - crippled internet connection. I
kept getting messages of ³no internet², but I did have internet, just
very slow, and it was the same in Chrome, Safari, and apps. And my ISP was
fine on my phone and other computers. I had no idea what to look at, so I
rebooted, and that fixed it.


if it was network connectivity, then disabling/re-enabling networking
would likely have sufficed.

rebooting is a sledge hammer, when a small screwdriver is all that's
needed.
