I have an ADB PowerKey Pro 600 smart power strip that I really like. Right now it's connected to my old 9600, but it could be hooked up to the Smurf at some point.
I found the PowerKey strips incredibly useful back in the day. From the power-on button on my Extended II keyboard, I could boot up my computer and all attached peripherals. It worked with QuicKeys, and could be set to start-up at a set time and shut down at a set time, along with all attached devices, of course. Aside from the obvious practicality, it was useful when I didn't get to work on time. The computer would turn itself on, and anyone who came looking for me figured I was in the office somewhere…
I am thinking of setting up small partitions on one of the smaller drives I having lying about and cloning the contents of the drives in the 9600 onto them, then stashing that drive in the Blue and White. The OS 9.1 and 8.6 systems will work in the Smurf. I still have to go through those old drives and salvage e-mail, files, images, etc.
