[Pc_Support] I have a simple question here re: the O/I nomenclature on a power switch ...

[Justin M. Keyes]

I've always assumed that "I" means the switch is connected, i.e., the
circuit is complete, whereas "O" means the switch is disconnected,
i.e., the circuit has a hole in it, if you want to think of it that
way... I don't think they are initials for anything like "Off" or
"On".
