3 types... some of us have SB's in both the living room and bedroom.

The Squeezebox and Squeezenetwork and the behavior of them predate Andy

And how would you turn it back on?

hint: if it is actually off, it isn't looking at the IR detector, and
therefore it won't turn on by either IR or network activity.  The
method to turn it on, therefore, can not require IR or network
activity.

This isn't that odd of a deal: I have several machines that I can't
"really" turn off unless I yank the power from them.
