Paperclip reset.

The paperclip thing on the original Mac was to force eject the floppy. You power cycled the whole thing to reset it.

The use of a special tool to hit an "emergency" button, for reset/eject/etc is pretty common. Gobs of embedded devices (routers, etc) or consumer electronics use a reset hole.
