Instead, I think it shows the fallacy of giving designers too much input at the expense of human factors experts. These Macs have hard to see power buttons in locations that do not face the user.

Pre-OS X Apple rarely made mistakes like this. ************************************************************************ * ==> 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?
