That would be true... except that reaching the power source at the wall is anything but low hassle. It involves serious moving of furniture and a very awkward reach. And then, when it's all shut down, I have no telephone (VOIP or local), no internet for other computers on the network, no WiFi, no cable TV... I suppose I could do some rearranging with multiple power strips and the like, but I'd rather that the damn thing just turn off like it's supposed to when I do the Shutdown routine.
