Also wulcum back. It is a most-often effective way of re-inducing the pseudo-softpower ('active power control' in Apple's parlance) to return to the job after some time off the mains power. Given that the second thing that you do after receipt of a CC/P250 (after opening and cleaning) is to check/replace the PRAM battery. Be not dismayed to find that the battery varies between 3.6V lithium and 4.5V alkaline depending on production date.
Nice catch, by the way. P250s are not easily come by, although Australia seems to have been one of their stamping grounds. You are perhaps a tad unkind though: what can reasonably be expected of a 16MHz machine throttled back from 12MB actual RAM to 10MB useable, and blessed with totally inadequate screen real estate? Cute, yes. Useful, once, when aspirations were lower.
