I don't need one. I'd be just as happy to simply rip out machdep.kbdreset where it's currently abused for that purpose. * If you press one of these soft power buttons a little bit longer, they typically shut off the power in hardware anyway. * Mischievous people can simply pull the cord. * If you run a kiosk application built into a wall, you don't expose a power button. That leaves "avoid shutdown by accidentally brushing against the button", but that isn't an issue in practice. Looking at pictures of the Ultra 5, I don't see how Miod could press that by accident. I once accidentally powered off my Blade 100 while leaning over it but I think that was with the power button shutdown disabled, so there. For the Zaurus, a knob may make sense, I don't know. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
