Quick and easy (and stupid?) computer question

My CPU is under my desk, the length of it is against the wall (nearly) and the face of it points to the left. I prop my feet up on this little sus-desk level and occasionally I tap the on/off switch with my toe (by accident). Is there a way to catch the computer before it shuts down once it's already begun to?

Thanks.....

Yes, but you need a straightened hanger shoved through the vents in the back.

That's how you break into cars! Cut the offending toe off - that'll sort it out.

Perhaps I can make a flip-up cage for the button.

You could try poison. That's how the poison arrow frog protects itself.

I know! Get a little dog, (recommend Jack Russel, for economy of space), keep it under the computer and train it to 'go for the toe'.

There see...simple!

Yippee! You have the camera! I was so sad that I'd lost the picture of you and the one of your mom.
