CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn't always work - especially when we're talking about a
freeze that involves the keyboard as well.  No need to pull out the mains
and unplug the battery.  Just push and hold the 'power on' button - hold it
for at least 5 seconds.  The machine will switch off.  This also works for
desktops BTW.  It is a course of last resort though, since you'll obviously
lose anything that you were working on - in Windows 98 that is...
