Quite funny, yes.  It's also interesting that we seem to be coming full circle with computers, back to thin clients (terminals).  The user populace has changed enough that they don't understand that it is now sometimes OK to just use the power button.  We (IT people) have drilled it into the users to shutdown the computer properly, so i suppose the confusion isnt that unsurprising.
