We rarely turn off our tower. We have a Dell and it has an energy saving feature, and goes to sleep all by itself after a few minutes of screen saver. So does our monitor.
We just wiggle the mouse and it wakes up itself.
We have two surge protectors plugged in a line, so we leave it on all the time. If a huge storm comes thru, or we leave home for more than a day, we turn it off.
To reboot after a download, we do "restart" which does not need the button at all.
