“doesn’t know that the eject removable media key doubles as the power key”

And why would anyone know or suspect that a button designated the CD/DVD eject button would also be considered a power key? You guys really don’t see how unintuitive that is? Would it have cost Mr. Job that much to put a little light bulb or the word power next to the eject arrow?

I don't use it for that... but it can be. It really is easier to hold in the power button for ten seconds... but I have only had to do that once in seven years of Mac OSX use.
