Another usability issue with power buttons: what should they do and when?
In the old days, push a power button and something turns on or off. On many computers nowadays, push the button for less than 3-8 seconds (it varies by manufacturer) and it does one thing. Hold it in for longer and it will power off the computer. I have had at least five people tell me the power button on their computer was broken, because it wouldn't turn off the computer. As a geek, I just tried holding it in longer without even thinking about it. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
