I just recieved my PowerKey. It enables the 'on' key  and causes
'shutdown' to shutdown the mac as well as whatever else you
plug in to it  (monitor, printer, modem...).  Very nice.

It also has a built in timer, so that you can have everything turn on at
a specified time (have your computer started up before you get to
the office each day (!) , lets see 30 seconds per day x some hourly rate and
the thing will pay for itself in a few hundred years. )

He who dies with the most toys wins.
