I have a clumsy setup here which I share with my son and his computer. So I
wanted to move my new Mac Pro under a shelf to give me more leg room and
realized this morning it's impossible. There is no keyboard power button so
I'd have to bend over (I'm sorta disabled after breaking my back) to turn it
on. My other Macs always had a power switch on the keyboard and this one
doesn't. Phoned Apple and they reluctantly said nope, can't work. I did
try
the old keyboard from my iMac and it didn't work.

This can't be true! There must be a way around it??? Not rocket surgery,
just trying to turn the damn thing on without bending over...

You might consider setting System Preferences > Energy Saver to put the
computer to sleep when it's not in use rather than shutting it down.


Jeepers, I never thought of that but a good idea. I've been using an iBook
for years and the laptop needed to be shut down and put away. But this one
doesn't so why not do it that way.

Thanks :-)
