We used to have a power bar that every thing was connected to. Same principle applies.

Mine had the power button too high, so I would accidentally turn it off with my knee

mine had a button cap and dad used to joke that he bought it on black market and it originates from the nuclear missile launch button.

That button cap is important with a lot of kids around.

Just the big toe

I used to get little muscle spasms in my legs if I sat for too long that made them kick out and the amount of times I accidentally kicked the power button was comical.

I guess that's why they call it "booting"

Power button on top sucks balls, I preferred it on the front

I still turn my computer like that most of the time.

I can still hear/feel the gradual effect followed with the iconic "click"

Do people not still do this? People must still have towers, and they must have on buttons, right?

I've not built a tower in a good few years now so maybe I'm out of touch and they're all voice activated now or use DNA scanners from Gattaca idk xD
