[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1926833, member: 131855"] Whether we agree or not with the design choice, desktop systems are built on the assumption that they are going to be connected to an outlet/power strip at all times. This has been true for decades - even predating the modern practice of putting systems in sleep mode rather than shutting them off. I used to shut off my Apple II any time it was going to be off for more than a few hours and leave it plugged into the power strip. If power was lost to the outlet for any significant period of time, the system would complain when I restarted and the system date/time would be wrong because the PRAM battery had become depleted. Corrected typo [/QUOTE]
