Given it happened to me a couple of times to unwillingly press my foot
(or my knee depending on the machine) for more than 4 seconds on the
power button of the machine I have laid down on one side under my desk,
thus causing an instant power-off, I think it is pretty much relevant.

However thanks for the useful and polite reply, it's always pleasant to
get a cheering message from the STFU-I gang ...

Simo.
