Hmm - The emac and iMac g4 have the power-buttons out of view as well,
nothing new there. The original mac and many of the powermacs that
followed had rear mounted power buttons / switches. I'd prefer it to be
on the front or the keyboard, but there is precedent. I rarely turn off
my computer though - preferring to put it to sleep when necessary.
Apple keyboards have a couple of usb ports on them, so for usb devices
no problem. But whats with the 'if you need to connect something - you
have to turn on the computer??' I don't understand the question -
anything that could be connected or removed from the iMac (except the
power cord) can be done so with the machine both on and off.
