Norm,
My older IBM computer has a toggle power switch on the back and the
"power on" button on the front. Neither of the newer ones (Dell and
Acer) has the toggle switch. Now I know what's going on, I've moved
my power board from behind the desk to the footwell, so I can switch
it off at night. You learn something new every day.... Thanks.
