 To push the 'power on' button, I use my strongest finger.  It can be
 awkward for me to be simultaneously pushing other front-panel buttons with
 weaker fingers.  [OFW seems to immediately check all buttons, leaving me
 no time to switch my strong finger to a game button.]  It is possible that
 a child with disabilities would have the same difficulty as I.

 If OFW were to defer checking the other buttons for half a second after
 'power on' is recognized, the user should have time to reposition his
 fingers (from the task of "turning on the XO", to the task of indicating
 "what is special about this boot").
