How do I restart my blue-and-white G3 after a crash?

Restarting a Blue-and-White G3

The Control-Command-Power key combination is not available on blue-and-white G3's. To restart from a crash or freeze, first push the power button on the front of your computer, to see if it will shut itself down. If it does, you can simply start up again as usual. If the Power button doesn't work, push the reset button (the one with a small triangle on it).

Again, if all else fails, you can simply unplug your Mac, wait a few minutes and plug it back in.
