Timely article. This happened to me today. I have one of those stupid big Alien PCs at work with the stupidly big stupid alien head as the power button, which stupidly stands proud of the surface of the unit. My colleague once shut my PC down by kneeing the button as she rolled her chair over to my desk to ask me something. So I changed the power button to do nothing. Problem solved or so I thought. Today she managed to hard reset the PC by crossing her legs and resting her boot against the stupid button. Thank the $deity$ for autosave in Excel!
