    Geek King: Two of my computers have cases (identical cases, in fact) with identical large, convex buttons for both reset and power. They're quite easy to push. They're also not labelled, making it a wonderful guessing game as to which is which. and one of these computers is on the floor. Fortunately, my dad hasn't kicked it. Yet.

    My old Alienware's case (which now houses my phenom ) has buttons that are within raised circles. The reset button is very small, and recessed below the raised area, so that I have to use my pinky to hit it, and even then, if I don't have enough of a fingernail, I might not push it in enough.

    It's also one of those that has a door that when closed covers both drives and buttons. The door's removable though, and I've had it off for a good while now.

      They're rather clearly marked on my new rig ( Quad Core 2 Q9550 ftw ). On my old case they were just two silver buttons. Though the power button was larger than the reset button.

      Still, if I couldn't find the power button I'd just keep looking. I wouldn't be placing a service call on my company's tech support contract at 3 in the morning that will likely cost my boss several hundred dollars. ><

        Is there any weapon in an SC's arsenal that will actually raise your sympathy? I was pretty sure that your particular class - Bitter and Jaded CSR, Prestige Class: Overnight Shift - was immune to all Sympathy-increasing effects anyway.
        The Voice of Politeness (+5), combined with the Genuine Attempt To Find A Fair Compromise is usually effective, even against the Bitter and Jaded CSR. However, the B&J, especially the Overnight Shift B&J, is immune to almost everything else.

        The GATFAFC, unfortunately, appears to be an extremely rare artifact.
        Seshat's self-help guide:
        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

          her Uncle Murray, who lives in Canada, was kidnapped and murdered by….er…”Them”. I do not know who “Them” is, but “They” slew her uncle. Than took all his stuff and sold it. Than took all his property and sold it. Poor Uncle Murray. He was liquidated by the nefarious Them.

          her uncle Murray was murdered and eaten by radioactive giant ants?
