the world's ballsiest power button, second only to an OS that makes ctrl-S shut down your computer
fortunately that I/O key is for Suspend, which turns off the LCD, halts the CPU, and locks the keyboard. The Poqet PC's CPU is stopped between keystrokes unless it's updating the screen, leading to a battery life of 50-100 hours of use (in non-CPU-intensive applications) from a pair of AA batteries. Poqet also had a patent on a combination of a variable-voltage (based on current) power supply and variable-frequency (based on supply voltage) CPU clock but I'm not sure that was implemented.
the thing's pretty much PC compatible. it'll run lotus 1-2-3. this one barely works; the screen has lines and fades due to cable failure, the case is coming apart, and some of the keyboard keys produce a dozen spurious keystrokes per press. i'm told they barely worked to begin with. still a very clever little device, and the first of its kind
