This is one good reason to get a under-the-monitor surge
protector, such as the Tripp Lite Command Console
(older units are available cheap on ebay sometimes), or some
other brand. Don't buy it for the surge protection, but
buy it for the switching. I never touch my printer or scanner
power buttons -- I flip the switches on the Tripp Lite, and since
it is right under the monitor, it is real easy to turn multiple things
off at once. And when you do that, they really are OFF! :-)
