I remember Macintosh computers from circa 1990. Even then Apple loved to just remove buttons because they hate buttons. Because it was so perfectly intuitive to drag a disc icon over to the fucking trash can icon in order to eject the floppy disc, they didn't have a physical eject button for the floppy drive. Helpfully, they instead put the power button right where a floppy drive eject button should have been. So I was constantly turning the computer off whenever I wanted to eject a disc.

They did put the power button on the keyboard though, which was pretty awesome

I remember those keyboards, if I hit that button my PC just hard crashed. Fantastic.

I set up Linux on a laptop with a particularly aggressive keyboard power button recently. I'd be at the terminal go to hit backspace and where Linux?
