Button, button, who’s got the button?
From an article on the Wall Street Journal about Steve Job's button phobia.
When the company introduced the iPod in late 2001, the most common calls to Apple's technical support lines for a time were about how to turn the device, which lacked a clearly defined power button, off and on, says a former Apple executive.
Wow, I'd forgotten all about that. Years ago Will left his iPod at our house for a week or two and I had such trouble trying to figure out how to turn the damn thing on.

Apache2 and OS X
This is more a note to myself than anyone else, but to compile Apache2 on OS X, use the following configure:
-
./configure --with-included-apr --enable-so --enable-mods-shared=most
When Apache starts whinging about "dlname not found, assuming libtool archive" and shit, and refuses to produce .so modules instead kicking out a bunch of .a and .la files in their place, it means you've fucked up somewhere along the line, probably because this isn't the first time you've tried to run the configure script.
Delete the entire Apache source directory and start again. If you are lucky you'll even get a nice copy of libexpat.0.dylib at the end of it all.
