Ha! Proof that the //c is a better machine! With the //c you don't have to go
through all of the trouble off reversing the pins. Just plug an external drive
in while powered up and you're all set for a trip to the local dealer.
I consider it a sort of easter egg since the manual contains so many
warnings that it would have you believe you have to turn the machine off before
pressing the return button.
