# c'EST UN VELO.
I hate this keyboard - on my work one I've removed the caps lock and power buttons (why did anyone EVER build a keyboard with a 'power' button?) but it might devalue my laptop a wee bit.

# to answer your question......
back years ago, computers were big, noisy and bulky, so they were often hidden away in another room, so the simple way to start them up was a power button on the keyboard. Nowadays its used for "sleep" and hibernation shutdowns


or to annoy hamfisted typists who hit them by mistake :-)
