   If you get this screen when you boot, it means that the computer
thinks that the open-apple key is being held down. The open-apple key
is the same as the first joystick button, so try disconnecting any
joystick/paddles/whatever. If that doesn't work, the keyboard is
probably bad. If the joystick is the problem, clean it out, and try
again.
