Nothing against engineers or anything but I was wondering about what others thought about fundamental basic engineering design flaws with computers

To wit:

1.A power switch on the back of the computer or monitor conveniently placed so that you cannot possibly get to it

2. Modems that have the speakerphone capability with a jack labeled "SPEAKER". No sounds from your computer? Your speakers may be plugged into the jack labeled "SPEAKER."
Its the wrong jack. Yes I know it says "SPEAKER" but your speakers dont plug in there. Thats your modem!

3. That DAMED CAPS LOCK KEY!
The first person to re-design a keyboaard & move that damned caps lock key up by other pretty much worthless keys like Print Screen & Scroll Lock will make a million bucks!
As it is, that CAPS LOCK key is inconveniently placed right next to TAB

4. The QWERTY keyboard layout.
That will never change. It is too fundamentally engrained in society.
Take typing 101

What else is fundamentally wrong with the design of a computer?

Im curious about what others have to say. I am not talking about software errors but basic engineering design flaws.
