Notice how close the volume knob is to the power button. When I'm driving and I turn the volume up, I some how always bump the power button and turn off the stereo. Maybe I'm just clumsy. What are your thoughts?

Explains why I haven't fixed my power button yet =)
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.
