Talking the "Sleep" button... Back in 2000s, there were some popular cheap external keyboards with three extra buttons between the delete/end/pgdown row, and the arrows. The first of those buttons was "power off" sitting just below "Delete". Example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hendry/330827330 It was pure madness because it was guaranteed to push this button by accident on a daily basis. I can't imagine someone using computers for more than 5 minutes could have designed this. | ||

We had keyboards like this in several labs in the uni! Except they were even worse, and these three keys were shaped like regular keys. When I accidentally powered down my PC the third time in a row, losing all progress on my assignment, I popped the key out of the keyboard. | ||
