Yes, it's called an ergonomic design. You do not have to hurt yourself by
bending over awkwardly to turn off the computer; you can just sit at the
computer and it will turn off soon enough.

I used an extremely sophisticated device to bar easy access to this
ergonomic design; a piece of cardboard and duct tape, (the handyman secret
weapon.)

And lets not forget the fine design of the on/off switch
right where your knee was.

Yes, I did experience at least one accidental power failure.

Interesting retrospective, but I should point out the Series 33 (the cool
desk model) was the first HP-IB machine and with an SOS processor to boot
and ADCC ports; the series 30 came later.
