I guess new power supply ATX-type have no on/off switch. Just
Power supply detect latch signal from user or window command
or advance power control system.
I think avoid this nonsense, relabel with On/Off switch with ATX power
supply..
But excellent joke for Real computer people..... :-)

>> Abbott: What are you talking about?
