Don't forget those excellent Macs where the (instant-off) power button looked like the floppy drive eject! Oh what fun!

- DLWormwood 18y agoYou know what's funny? Most classic era Macs used to have a power off key on the keyboard, instead of requiring a button on the case proper. (Like FireWire, ADB was always "hot" and such machines used a rocker switch instead of a push button for "master power off.") But since Apple adopted USB, this functionality was taken away due to how USB is (was?) dependent on a actively powered CPU to arbitrate traffic. Guess what that same button is used for now?
