One Dell computer we had at work, circa 1995, had the reset button on the front, dangerously close to the floppy drive eject button.
There were quite a few instances of sudden rage......................
Probably a relative of the "reporter".
A CTRL-C used to interrupt a PC's "operation" without resetting it.
Now that I think about it, didn't Gates say he'd do the Win NT logon screen differently, rather than requiring "CTRL-ALT-DEL"?
Perhaps the reporter is confused?
