I can think of one practical reason while running e-mess-dos.  There have
been occasions where I have so bolixed up my system that the normal
control-shift-whatever to which the keyboard controller is supposed to
listen will not reboot the machine.  Without a reset button, I am forced to
cycle power to boot the system, which cannot be good for the disk.
